Warringah v Randwick
In a close contest that saw both sides scored three tries, it was left to a 50m Dave Harvey drop goal to take out the match on the bell. Dominant for most of the match, Randwick were powerless to stop the experienced Harvey from kicking his side to victory and fourth place on the table.

Penrith v Sydney University
For the first time this season, Penrith took the lead early, displaying the skills they have needed all season. But their lead was short lived, as they failed to capitalise on several opportunities, allowing the Students to cross the line five times for a bonus point win. The win, only the Students’ second of the season, sees them rise three places to occupy sixth place on the ladder.
