A brace of first half sin bins against Will Penisini and Bailey Simonsson put the Parramatta Eels heavily on the backfoot against the Sydney Roosters. It proved to be too much of a handicap for the Blue & Gold as the Roosters ran out 28-20 victors.

The Tip Sheet looks at the rather bizarre Round 5 match as Sixties and Forty20 are left to rue Parramatta's 4th loss of the season. On a night where plenty went wrong for Parra, the Roosters had a generous dose of luck but also flashes of the great play their squad is capable of.
