In last night's National Rugby League match the Sydney Roosters overwhelmed the Melbourne Storm, minus their four State of Origin stars, 38-6 in Melbourne.
The Roosters are now 8th on the NRL ladder equal on points differential with Parramatta, but more significantly on 16 points, the same as fifth-placed South Sydney.
The match completed a horror few days for NSW Origin coach Craig Bellamy, after the racial slur by his Blues assistant coach Andrew Johns which resulted in the walk-out of centre Timana Tahu.
Last night's game was Bellamy's 200th in charge of the Melbourne Storm.
