Defending premiers Penrith stormed into second spot on the ladder with a stunning 42-0 win over the Sharks as Dylan Edwards staked an undeniable case for Blues selection and Jarome Luai tuned up for the Origin opener with a five-star display.

The Rabbitohs celebrated the NRL's Indigenous Round by breaking a six-game losing streak under the captaincy of Latrell Mitchell, while freakish flyer Alex Johnston posted his 180th career try to join Billy Slater in second place on the all-time premiership tryscoring table.

In the national capital on Saturday the Roosters hit top gear again and put eight tries on the Raiders to jump from seventh to fifth on the ladder, while the Titans and Warriors overcame the absence of a host of stars to come up with gutsy wins on Sunday.
