Sydney Roosters are through to their first NRL grand final in seven years after Mark Nawaqanitawase genius and a miracle Sam Walker injury comeback inspired a 36-20 demolition of the Dolphins.
The Roosters, boosted by a Nawaqanitawase intercept try against the run of play, shot out to a 16-0 lead inside 27 minutes in front of a sold-out preliminary final crowd of 52,286 at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night.
