Savage, in his second year at the club, showed he has overcome off-season shoulder surgery with a strong display at the back.The speedy youngster scored the Raiders' opening try with a smart solo effort and ran for 147 metres.But it was also a good hit-out for Nicoll-Klokstad in his first game since a serious knee injury last year. Nicoll-Klokstad started in the halves after a COVID-19 positive test claimed Sam Williams and he caused the Roosters plenty of problems.Youngsters Brad Schneider and James Schiller - a nephew of club legend Brett Mullins - also looked the goods for the Raiders.To round off a great trial for Ricky Stuart, captain Jarrod Croker made a successful return from major knee surgery.The Roosters rested most of their big names but coach Trent Robinson would have been disappointed with the lack of imagination shown by his second-stringers in attack. Only five-eighth Ronald Volkman and edge forward Naufahu Whyte showed any flair for the Roosters.
