Round 3
- Both Friday night games went into golden point extra time, with Penrith winning by one point and Parramatta winning by two points.
- The Roosters lost their third match in as many rounds, marking the club's worst start to a season since 1994.
- Broncos player, Justin Hodges, found himself in the rare situation of scoring 4 tries (equal club record) for a losing side.
- The Broncos also recorded their worst start to a season since 1999, and the worst start to a season by a defending premier since 2000.
- Contrastingly, Souths continued with their third straight win, the Rabbitohs' best start to a season since 1972.
- The Canberra Raiders, who were listed as wooden spoon favourites by numerous betting organisations, pulled out a 30 point trashing of Newcastle with young back, William Zillman scoring a hat-trick of tries.
