Sydney Roosters` stunning 38-32 victory over Penrith Panthers highlights resilience and strategic execution in the NRL.

Sydney Roosters pulled off a remarkable upset by defeating the Penrith Panthers 38-32 in Round 2 of the 2025 NRL Telstra Premiership. This victory marked the Roosters` first win over the Panthers in six years, showcasing their resilience just a week after a heavy loss to the Broncos.

Coach Trent Robinson and captain James Tedesco expressed immense pride in their team`s performance, highlighting their execution and determination throughout the match. Despite being considered underdogs, the Roosters managed to fend off a late comeback attempt from the Panthers, securing a memorable win at CommBank Stadium, the Panthers` temporary home during the redevelopment of Panthers Stadium.

On the other hand, Panthers coach Ivan Cleary reflected on the loss, attributing it to complacency and a failure to perform at their best, despite his team`s relentless effort. The match was a thrilling display of skill and strategy, leaving fans on the edge of their seats.

In another matchup, the Warriors faced the Sea Eagles at Go Media Stadium in Auckland, aiming to recover from a disappointing start to their season.
