On the show this week

- AJ goes in on the Roosters goal-line defence and forward rotation. Can Melbourne get it done in the regular season. Harry Grant proves to be the constant in the Storm.

- North Queensland find their grove as their pack finds some sort of groove as their rotation continues to raise eyebrows. St George somehow show their good side and bad side in the same 80 minutes.

- A defence of Reece Walsh’s performance as Parramatta have a position battle under their noses across several positions.

- Gold Coast deliver an ambush only Des Hasler can deliver in game 500. But, we raise significant questions over the Warriors premiership aspirations.

- Penrith seem to get themselves back on track! But… as much as the Tigers have significantly improved, has their roster got enough in them to continue their improvement or is it too late?

- The less we say about 7:30 the better, Souths somehow put up a brave fight against Cronulla who seemed to lack that killer instinct they showed against the Dolphins and the Roosters? Why was that the case?

- Canberra flick the second half switch and thrash the Knights as AOB’s halves roulette hits another hurdle. We analyse Canberra’s premiership hopes.

- Canterbury find their groove finally with Galvin and co. What does this mean for the Dogs title charge. Plus a ruthless takedown of Manly’s aspirations now Haumole is sidelined for the season.
