Vodafone Fiji Bati star forward Viliame Kikau scored a try to help the Bulldogs make a stunning comeback, edging the Roosters 24-20 in their NRL round 11 clash last night.

The Roosters started the game strongly in the first half as they scored two converted tries through former Waratahs wing Mark Nawaqanitawase and Lindsay Collins.

Kikau’s try in the 49th minute kicked off the Bulldogs' comeback, with the Canterbury side scoring another three tries through Toby Sexton, Bronson Xerri, and Matt Burton to seal their win.

Nawaqanitawase scored his second try of the match in the 67th minute.

In another result last night, the Eels thrashed the Knights 28-6.

Looking at the matches today, the Dolphins will take on the Warriors at 5pm, the Cowboys will face the Sea Eagles at 7.30pm, and the Sharks will meet the Storm at 9.35pm.
