The Panthers kept their winning streak going with a vital win in Canberra while the Warriors losing streak looks no closer to ending after a loss to the Rabbitohs. The Sharks got their finals push back on track while the Storm closed out the minor premiership against Newcastle.
Kiwi Watch
Alex Glenn had his best game of the season for the Broncos as they beat the Dragons while the rough form of the Warriors will have Kiwis coach David Kidwell worrying. Corey Harawira-Naera put in another strong showing against the Raiders and Jared Waerea-Hargreaves was at his aggressive best for the Roosters.
Best Performance
There were a few candidates - the Sharks winning in Townsville, the Bulldogs finally getting a win or even the Rabbitohs second half thrashing of the Warriors but it would be impossible to ignore the Storm continuing to roll against Newcastle and claiming another minor premiership in the process.
Standout Player
Brodie Croft can't even crack the Melbourne Storm top side but filling in for Cooper Cronk he once again played the house down. The succession planning at Melbourne continues to amaze and it appears they have a real star in the making in Croft. The halfback was involved in everything the Storm did in their win over the Knights.
