Parramatta 32 Manly 24
Sydney Roosters 28 Newcastle 10
Canterbury 36 Norths 24
Souths 18 Newtown 16
Cronulla 36 Canberra 16
I do not have the score for Saints v Cougars
Balmain and Wests had byes.
HIGHLIGHTS
* The superb contest between Newtown and Souths. No the prettiest of gams but with tries being scored one by one no team ever led by more than 4 points. A memorable match of RL. Souths breaking the hearts of the strong Jets crowd with a 78th minute try.
*Cronulla upset Canberra. In a feat that was to be copied by their NRL counterparts, the Sharks easily accounted for one of the Premier League's heavyweights.
* Norths improving form. Despite not beating the much faniced Bulldogs, the Bears are making these games interesting, unlike last year when matches often ended for them at the kickoff.
*Parramatta won over Manly as expected. But their overall form is questionable. They do not look as convincing as last year. It probably reflects the fortune of the club overall at senior level.
