Winger Mark Nawaqanitawase and hooker Reece Robson have made triumphant returns from their hospital visits to power the Sydney Roosters to a rousing 26-0 victory against Canberra.
After a glittering start to their NRL season, the Roosters' star-studded side were held to a mere 16 points in the past two rounds, raising questions over their premiership credentials.
But Trent Robinson's men (8-4) showed that they shouldn't be ruled out as they transformed from their error-riddled performance against Melbourne at a nippy GIO Stadium on Friday.
Nawaqanitawase's three tries, 164 run metres, and eight tackle busts proved crucial, providing a timely reminder for NSW coach Laurie Daley of why he deserves a spot on the team for State of Origin game two on June 17 after his series opener hopes were dashed by an ankle injury that required surgery in May.
