Towering winger Solomon Alaimalo was next to collect a try for the Magpies in the 12th minute, with the Roosters scoring their only points of the match shortly after, through fullback Ethan King.
Teenage centre Josh Feledy grabbed a third for Wests, with the away team leading 16-4 at half-time.
The second stanza was all black and white, with skipper James Valevatu setting the tone with a 47th-minute try.
Starford To’a, who made his return from injury off the interchange bench, went on to score a second-half double, with the outside back proving a threat in his 50 minutes of game time.
The remaining two Magpies four-pointers went to Sullivan and new signing Charbel Tasipale, who made his debut for the club after signing from Castleford in the English Super League in recent weeks.
