Round 24 snapshot: Battle for first, fourth and eighth going down to the wire

Parramatta revived their 2021 Telstra Premiership campaign while also killing off Melbourne's hopes of breaking the all-time record winning streak in the penultimate round of the season.

There was also a series of costly incidents over the course of the eight matches with Rabbitohs duo Latrell Mitchell and Liam Knight, Eels prop Junior Paulo, Broncos forwards Tom Flegler and Brendan Piakura, and Storm co-captain Jesse Bromwich earning the ire of the judiciary.

And the faint finals prospects of the Warriors and Dragons fell by the wayside in their losses to the Raiders and Cowboys respectively.

Cronulla have the upper hand in the race for eighth while the Raiders and Titans can leapfrog them if the Sharks go down to the Storm on Friday night.

Manly should get fourth ahead of the Eels and Roosters while Penrith could even steal the minor premiership from Melbourne.
