The Sydney Roosters will get a well-deserved week off after beating Manly 4-0 to win a brutally absorbing NRL qualifying final last night.

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck scored the only try in the match which was a throwback to the 1980s.

Meanwhile Jason Bukuya's Cronulla Sharks beat the Queensland Cowboys 20-18 to qualify for the preliminary final.

In today's clash, Ben Barba's Canterbury Bulldogs will meet Akuila Uate and Kevin Naiqama's Newcastle Knights at 6pm.
