******************************************
- The Only 0–0 Draw: In Round 5 of 1982, the Newtown Jets and Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs played out the only scoreless match in the history of the premiership. Despite 20 penalties and multiple field goal attempts in rainy conditions at Henson Park, neither side could break the 0–0 deadlock.
- A Grand Final Rematch Blowout: In Round 5 of 2000, the Melbourne Storm recorded a historic 70–10 victory over the St. George Illawarra Dragons. This was particularly shocking as it was a rematch of the 1999 Grand Final; at the time, it set a record for the biggest win coming off a four-game losing streak.
- Peta Hiku's Hat-trick (2020): During a pandemic-impacted Round 5 played in Gosford, Peta Hiku scored three tries to lead the Warriors to a 37–26 win over the North Queensland Cowboys.
