The Roosters’ victory over the Tigers has set up a do-or-die top-eight shootout against South Sydney but they face a nervous wait on Jared Waerea-Hargreaves avoiding suspension.
The Roosters have kept their finals hopes alive with a 32-8 victory over Wests Tigers, but they will be sweating on Jared Waerea-Hargreaves avoiding suspension and Joey Manu being fit for next Friday’s top-eight shootout against bitter rivals South Sydney.
Because of his poor disciplinary record, Waerea-Hargreaves would be facing a three-match ban for a grade-one striking offence. He had blood trickling from his forehead as he made his way to the sideline. Robinson said Waerea-Hargreaves was “always scrutinised”. There were four Tigers players on report for late shots, but “Jared does one and the whole world blows up”.Few play with more aggression than Waerea-Haregreaves, and Souths is the one club he always rises for.
At least his replacement, third-string fullback Joseph Suaalii, was excellent when shifting to the custodian role. The rugby-bound flyer finished with more than 230 run metres and nearly a whopping dozen tackle busts.
