The Raiders and Knights went to golden point for the second time in four months in the nation's capital. A missed Blake Austin field goal attempt proved the best course of action for the Raiders as a wicked bounce over the head of Knight Jake Mamo helped winger Jordan Rapana score the match-winner. The Storm helped continue the Broncos' slide down the NRL Telstra Premiership ladder with a 42-point flogging. Parramatta couldn't quell a Cronulla comeback while the Cowboys outplayed the Rabbitohs in Cairns. The Sea Eagles put their season back on track with a big win over the Dragons. James Tedesco did his State of Origin claims no harm with a starring performance in the Tigers' win over the Panthers.
