NSW State of Origin five-eighth James Maloney made a profitable return from a fractured eye socket to help the Sydney Roosters to a crushing 36-0 NRL win on Saturday over St George Illawarra at Kogarah.

Maloney, who suffered his injury in the second Origin game, scored the first of six Roosters tries and landed all six of his kicks. Converted tries in the third minute to Maloney and lock Boyd Cordner in the 12th set up a convincing win, as the Roosters posted their fourth shutout of the season.

The Dragons had more ball, and a penalty count advantage, but their poor kicking game and impatience with ball in hand cost them dearly.

NSW centre Michael Jennings raced more than 70 metres for the Roosters third try in the 33rd minute after busy hooker Jake Friend scooped up a blocked kick from Nathan Fien.

While the Roosters also made some errors, they were much more clinical when they made their way into Dragons territory.

Even the loss at halftime of Sonny Bill Williams to a hamstring niggle didn't disrupt the visitors.

They piled on three more converted tries in the third quarter through Shaun Kenny-Dowall, forward Aiden Guerra and winger Daniel Tupou.

"It was a pretty pleasing scoreboard, but there's still plenty we can work on," Maloney said.

Roosters coach Trent Robinson was more happy with the zero part of the scoreline than the 36 points his side piled up.

"We want to be able to score tries when we get the opportunities, but I think we've talked about the way that we want to base our team and it's really pleasing to have the zero," Robinson said.

"The longer the (second) half went, the more we focused on it."

Dragons coach Steve Price's injury-hit and inexperienced team had seven more sets of possession and six more penalties, but squandered several chances through poor kicking and impatient play.

"We need to have a good look at ourselves," Price said.

"I think the bye has come at a good time.

"The boys get away and clear their heads and get back to training and strip it back and get back to basics and simplify it.

"I told the boys we are going through a bit of a difficult time.

"It's all about hanging tough now and supporting each other."
