Souths did well to "ruffle the Roosters feathers" and turn the game into a messy fight rolling around on the floor in the mud. Otherwise Roosters probably had the advantage. Fair play, they stood up to the early pressure and converted their tries and the Roosters looked shell-shocked going behind only adding to the pressure. Good qualifier game: Pressure and concentration being key elements.
