I'm trying to add a SharePoint group to a specific list that exists on all the sites in a collection. I would think this would be easier but I'm having difficulties. Inheritance is already broken on the list. Below is my code and then the error I'm getting. (This is not a duplicate question as the fix was different than what the suggested thread was solved by)

$siteNumbers = "2210"
$listsOnSite = "QWERTY"

Foreach($wnl in $siteNumbers)
    {
    $rootWeb = (Get-SPWeb ("http://url/to/site/" + $wnl))

    
    Foreach($lst in $listsOnSite)


    {
    $list = $rootWeb.Lists[$lst]
    $group = $rootWeb.Groups["Global Read-Only QWERTY"]
    $role = $rootWeb.RoleDefinitions["Read"]

    $roleAssignment = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPRoleAssignment($group)
    $RoleAssignment.RoleDefinitionBindings.Add($role)
    $rootWeb.RoleAssignments.Add($RoleAssignment)
    $list.RoleAssignments.Add($roleAssignment)
    $list.Update()
    }
    $rootWeb.Update()
    }
