Sam Walker<\/a> ignited a powerful Roosters<\/a> outfit \ufeffas the in-form halfback "terrorised" the ruck to cement a stellar victory against the Dragons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Just months after his standout Anzac Day performance<\/a>, Walker was back at his clinical best, recording two try assists and slotting seven conversions in the 42-12 win. <\/p>\n

"A short kicking game masterclass," Roosters great Cooper Cronk said.<\/p>\n

Walker's ruthless attack and playmaking skills evidently rattled the visitors, despite closing the margin to just two points when Christian Tuipulotu scored in the corner. <\/p>\n

Cronk noted the lack of pressure the Dragons were placing on the Roosters was reminiscent of their display back in April, where they conceded 60 points. <\/p>\n

"When they lose, they lose big … they fall off, like we saw on Anzac Day," Cronk said.<\/p>\n

Milestone Rooster Jared Waerea-Hargreaves was sent to the sin bin<\/a> in the 16th minute after he caught Dragons centre max Feagai with a swinging arm high.<\/p>\n

"Very tough competitor and a family man at heart," Cronk said post-game. <\/p>\n
