Sonny Bill Williams delivered in the hour of need as the Sydney Roosters prevailed 26-18 over Manly in an epic contest that will go down as one of the great NRL grand finals.

Capturing their first premiership since 2002, the Roosters beat the Sea Eagles for the fourth time in 2013 Williams leaving an indelible impression in what shapes as his final game in the code before a return to rugby union.

It was a decider that had it all - lead changes, momentum swings and even a penalty try - but it was the late salvo of Williams after a less than spectacular opening hour that will emerge as the most significant memory.
