The Roosters are having the season from hell, with just two wins in their last nine games and a finals berth slowly disappearing in front of their eyes.And one man who has especially haunted them is exciting Storm winger Xavier Coates, who has remarkably scored hat tricks in both his games against the Roosters in 2023.Coates bagged three tries when the teams met in Melbourne in round six and repeated the feat on Saturday night at the SCG.You have to go way back to 1954 to find the last time a player managed two hat tricks against the Roosters in the same season.The player who achieved the feat in 1954 - when Sir Robert Menzies was prime minister - was Newtown winger Ray Preston.
