The home side scored three tries in the first half, through Aidan Guerra, Blake Ferguson and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, to take an 18-point lead into the break.

The Roosters' James Maloney crossed the line early in the second half before the Warriors' defence hardened to stanch the flow of points.

The result drops the Warriors one rung into seventh place on the competition ladder while the Roosters remain in third.
