All the scorelines, highlights, injuries and judiciary news from the first round of the Telstra Premiership.

Melbourne showed they will not give up their title defence without a fight by beating Souths to kick off the season as the new rule changes were introduced across the eight matches.

There were a few close games as well some bigger margins as teams like the Roosters, Panthers and Knights racked up points against their opponents.

The Dally M votes are in with the likes of Storm fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen, Roosters veteran Brett Morris, Parramatta prop Junior Paulo and Sharks young gun Will Kennedy collecting three votes for their man-of-the-match performances.
