NRL 2025 live: Roosters beat Panthers after Warriors stun injury-hit Manly

It’s hot potato stuff as the Panthers keep the ball alive. They march upfield in a few tackles, Cleary is tackled with five second left, they go right, Brian To’o dives for the corner – and he’s out! No try! Actually he’s dropped the ball into the corner post – so close to potentially forcing the game into extra time, but not close enough.

It’s a thrilling finish to a stunning game, with the injury-ravaged Roosters defying the bookies and possibly every tipster in the country to beat the champions.
