The Sydney Roosters looked set to go down in one of the upsets of the season, until they stormed home to beat the Parramatta Eels 28-18.
The Eels refused to play to the script in running up an 18-4 lead against an out-of-sorts Roosters team in the first half but conceded four unanswered tries in the second to add yet another game to their list of ones that got away in a disappointing season.
The win moved the Roosters past the Cowboys to second on the ladder and formally ends any faint hope the Eels had of a late run to the 2015 finals series.
