* Quote of the Round: “We were pathetic tonight. It’s something I don’t say a hell of a lot about this this team.” – Despite storming back for a last-gasp win, Raiders coach Ricky Stuart didn’t miss when asked his thoughts on his team’s performance.

* Man of the Round: In just the second game of his career, rookie Jarome Luai almost single-handedly ended Penrith’s mid-season slump with two tries, three try involvements, eight tackle busts and 20 points in their shock win over the Warriors.

* Stat that Matters: Canterbury forward Rhyse Martin’s 24-point haul in their loss to Canberra is the most by an individual player in a losing side in premiership history.

* Magic Moment: Kotoni Staggs’ one-handed aerial collect of a Kodi Nokorima pass, and then his brutal shove of Michael Gordon, was the highlight of Brisbane’s comprehensive local derby win over Gold Coast.

* Talking Point: They might have had their feet up this weekend, but South Sydney are the league’s new frontrunners after St George Illawarra collapsed late against Melbourne. And the Rabbitohs could stay there for a while, with their next three games against opponents currently outside the top eight.

* Judiciary Watch: Dragons – Hame Sele (dangerous throw); Raiders – Joseph Tapine (dangerous throw).

* Casualty Ward: Dragons – Jacob Host (shoulder), James Graham (concussion); Panthers – Dallin Watene-Zelezniak (hamstring); Raiders – Brad Abbey (concussion), Shannon Boyd (calf); Titans – Keegan Hipgrave (concussion); Broncos – Kotoni Staggs (concussion).

* Under Pressure: Are the Warriors about to go on their annual slide? Their sorry 34-6 effort against an understrength Panthers outfit has not only resulted in their first losing streak of the season, but means they have now lost their past five matches against top-eight opponents.
