The Wests Magpies kicked off the very wet round 14 of the VB Premier League with their second win of the season, defeating Manly-Warringah 32 - 18 at Brookvale Oval on Friday.
On Saturday, home teams, Newtown , St Mary's Penrith and South Sydney were all too strong for their visiting opponents in relatively high scoring and free flowing games despite the near torrential downpour.
Balmain Ryde-Eastwood Tigers confirmed their outright second spot, and sent a warning to current leaders Parramatta with a convincing 24 to 16 victory on Sunday at Parramatta Stadium, whilst in the Queen's Birthday Monday match, the Bulldogs were too strong for the Canberra Raiders, winning 32 to 20.
