Gordon v Parramatta
In a scrappy match, neither team was able to control the flow of the match, with several penalties disrupting any momentum. Despite taking an early lead, some sloppy play and too many penalties hindered the Highlanders from holding on for a win. The win for the Two Blues sees them rise one place to fifth, whilst Gordon remain second from bottom.
