Fleet-footed Melbourne fullback Sua Faalogo has helped run the Sydney Roosters ragged to bank an important 18-4 win to take a leap up the competition ladder.
With six players backing up from State of Origin, including James Tedesco and Sam Walker, in their Saturday night match at AAMI Park, the Roosters couldn't hold back their desperate hosts.
The Sydney outfit's shoddy performance - including a 61 per cent completion rate, 18 errors and 44 missed tackles - left coach Trent Robinson seething.
"Really poor, real lack of respect for the harder parts of the game, lack of respect for the ball and how you should play the game, and so we get the result we deserve," he said.
Robinson refused to blame the heavy Origin workload for his team's showing.
