Matt Ikuvalu became the first Roosters player to score five tries in a match since 1955 as the defending champions thrashed the Cowboys 42-16 in the NRL last night.

Ikuvalu received a late call-up after an injury to winger Brett Morris.

Five-eighth Luke Keary grabbed a double while the returning James Tedesco ran riot to record 236 metres and two try assists.

Sitili Tupouniua scored the other try for the Roosters.

In tonight's matches, the Titans play the Warriors at 8pm while the Wests Tigers play the Rabbitohs at 9.55.
