Roger Tuivasa-Sheck made sure the Roosters knew exactly what they were missing when he scored a runaway golden point try to ensure his former side remained winless in 2016. Bryce Cartwright left it almost as late by scoring at the death of the Panthers' two-point win over the Eels. The Raiders rolled over the Bulldogs at their spiritual Belmore Sportsground home, while the Knights were mightily unlucky not to record their first win of the year in Melbourne. The Cowboys put the Dragons to the sword and for the second-straight week kept the opposition team scoreless.
