Much bigger man but that's pretty poor from Hodgo. Can't be defending like he did last season

Jack’s done enough! He’s off... and instantly...

35th min TRY ROOSTERS to Lindsay Collins. Not much desperation in defence there from Canberra. No conversion... easy goal missed.

I hope we see wholesale changes for second half, no need to risk our top players.
We look very sharp for an early trail game.

This co-commentator sounds like he's definitely calling his first game ever, after years of practising in his bedroom

Gee that penalty... Obviously no replays but that looked like a piss weak carry, the players didn't even know he lost the ball...

39th min That’s better goal line defence from Canberra. Forces the Roosters error.

That was very smart from Havili to take the penalty. We were gone there and now trusting our defence has paid off

I was waiting for yet another striping call... Good tackle and we held them out, just make it to the half, you win the first half in a trial you count it as a win it and bring on the reserves.

The George, Jack and Josh combo will be something special if Josh keeps delivering that early ball and picking his moments.

Good half, shake out the rust, some great looking moves, slick passing.

No one was bad, our defence is still holding back but who know, could just be what they were told to do due to the heat and it's a trial.

Not expecting our stars out there in the second half unless some of them are desperate for more of a run.

Stand outs - Wighton, Hodgson, Tapine.

Our kicking game is still pretty trash, we get that working over the course of the season I would be feeling a lot more confident in buying GF tickets early.

Ryan James is feeling his way in attack, but reasonably solid otherwise. Hope he goes well.

It'll be good to see Starling out there in the second half. He'll have had a rest and be able to show a quick pair heels out of dummy half.

Most did their job that half. I thought Rapana looked great. That footwork to make the break was very promising. Yes he got run down but we know he’s lost a bit of speed. If he can keep those light feet and make breaks like that’s he’s still an asset imo.
well, I guess you could say that I'm buy curious.

The Raiders have given it to Teddy in the first half. Lots of great chasing and strong defensive work on him. Hodgo passing early and it's helping. Papa's offload in the lead up to the first try was a beauty and the good news was that the players around him were expecting it. Havili and CNK having good games. A bit surprised Jack off before half time and before Hodgo.

47th min TRY ROOSTERS to Sam Walker. The Raiders scrambled well on their right, then their left, but the then Roosters swung it back again. Tedesco converts. Raiders B team out there.

Crichton has certainly been good and continued his strong Origin form.

Our main players definitely finished for the day - they are turning up showered and changed to watch.

55th min Great 40/20 from Frawley, but the Raiders spill it on the try line. The Roosters have left a lot more first graders out there.

57th min TRY ROOSTERS to Daniel Tupou crashing the kick. Not sure it was grounded. Dubious. No conversion.

Hard to stay "up" for a trial when the A grade side is already showered and watching on.

Still, it owuld be good to see the B side beat the Rooster's.

62nd min TRY ROOSTERS to James Tedesco. The Roosters have a bit too much firepower on the field for the Rookie Raiders B team. Tedesco is now off. Converted by Taukieaho.

Ryan James getting a good round of applause as he leaves the field.

Roosters 26-16

Ryan James has played huge minutes between both games. Looked pretty good with his carries.

Does that include Curtis Scott? I'd like to see a bit more of him.
