Suliasi Vunivalu made his NRL debut and scored two tries to kick-start his eventual season-high tally in Melbourne's golden point victory over the Wests Tigers. The Broncos annihilated an injury-ravaged Knights side as Anthony Milford's late field goal rubbed further salt into their gaping wounds. The Dragons ended a disappointing three-week stint in Queensland on a positive note by beating the Titans while the Warriors managed a well-deserved win over the Bulldogs in Wellington. And Panthers playmaker Jamie Soward's kicking game prevented the Roosters from racking up their second win of the year.
