Roosters hold off Tigers to stay with fourGETTY IMAGES The Roosters remain third in the NRL ladder. The Sydney Roosters have kept their NRL top-four ambitions on track, as they got out of jail to beat the Wests Tigers 22-18 on Saturday. After they led 16-0 early, the Roosters were forced to come from behind in the final 10 minutes at Allianz Stadium to stay third on the ladder. But when Latrell Mitchell crossed with seven minutes to play in the left corner to give the Roosters a lead they never relinquished. Pearce and Luke Keary also both laid on kicks for Ferguson and Mitchell Aubusson to score as the Roosters threatened to run away with the match, before the Tigers launched their comeback.
