During this round there was a very unusual event. The Melbourne Storm and Cronulla Sharks fought for the minor Premiership with the Sharks going down 26-6 to the Storm. However because of the 20 point loss the Cronulla Sharks dropped to third, overtaken by the Canberra Raiders who beat Wests Tigers 52-10. This then resulted in a different top 2 then the ones that fought for the Minor Premiership.
