The game was in the balance until the final moments where the home side pulled away to flatter them on the scoreboard, with Parramatta putting in a much bigger fight than they showed in their loss last week to the Dolphins. 

Eels winger Maika Sivo also crossed for a hat-trick after being recalled to the side, but will be contemplating his choices after being sent to the sin bin late in the second half as his side were mounting a comeback, with Manly instead able to put the game to bed with late tries. 

Melbourne know how to lift on April 25, having now won eight consecutive ANZAC clashes but Craig Bellamy's men well and truly hit top gear at AAMI Park, running in six tries in the first 36 minutes. 

The win could come at a loss however, with im-form winger Xavier Coates hobbling from the field with a hamstring injury after celebrating a first half hat-trick.

Storm's spine stamped their authority early with Jahrome Hughes chipping the ball in the air for Papenhuyzen who opened the scoring for Melbourne. 

Led by a superb kicking display from Sam Walker, the Roosters made it five wins in their past seven ANZAC Day clashes against the Dragons to send an ominous warning to their premiership rivals.

A horror start for the Dragons with Moses Suli forced out of the game in the opening minute after clashing heads with a rampaging Jared Waerea-Hargreaves on kick-off return.

Six minutes in and the Dragons had the game's opening try when Zac Lomax put Tyrell Sloan away down the right with a clever flick pass and the No.1 put a chip over the top of the oncoming defence.

Trailing 12-0 after just seven minutes the Titans looked to be in for another long day but with AJ Brimson and David Fifita standing tall, they broke a six-game losing streak in style.

An early penalty against Titans centre Brian Kelly for a dangerous tackle gave the Warriors field position and Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad capitalised when he sliced through from 10 metres out. Shaun Johnson knocked over the conversion for a 6-0 lead.

Nineteen-year-old Jett has transferred from the Penrith Panthers, where Ivan is a three-time premiership winner alongside elder son Nathan.

The youngest Cleary was born in Auckland when his father was in his first year as assistant coach of the Warriors. Jett played for St Dominic's College in Penrith and the Panthers' development teams in the Harold Matthews Cup (under-17) and the SG Ball Cup (under-19).

"It's an exciting time for us to be able to bring a player of Jett's quality into our pathways system from next season," said Warriors chief executive Cameron George.

Languishing in last spot on the ladder with one win from five games, the Rabbitohs are averaging just 14 points per game compared to 23.5 per game last season.

They must now try and find a way through a gritty Sharks side that boasts one of the best defences in the NRL and is revitalised after coming off a Round 5 bye.

Mitchell's suspension adds to the woes for the Bunnies, who are also missing star backs Alex Johnston and Campbell Graham to injury, robbing them of much of their potency.

While they could consider themselves unlucky losers against the Wests Tigers back on Easter Monday, Parramatta hardly fired a shot in a 41-8 drubbing at the hands of the Raiders in Round 5.

The absence of injured halfback Mitchell Moses was glaring, as Dylan Brown and Blaize Talagi struggled to get the side around the park efficiently, while giving away 10 penalties didn't help their cause either. 

Stamping their class on the competition after coming from behind to down the premiers at 4 Pines Park, Manly's next challenge is to overcome their recent record on the road after tough trips to Parramatta and Wollongong. 

And there's arguably no greater challenge then travelling across the Tasman to meet with a Warriors side who have well and truly hit their straps, rising to their third-consecutive win on the back of another Shaun Johnson masterclass. 

A real battle of Brisbane was brewing with just two-points the difference at the break before the Broncos went on a rampage with four tries in 14 minutes to blow the game wide open.

The tries came in the wake of a big injury blow for the Dolphins who lost Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow to a hamstring injury just over 20 minutes into the match.

After both sides traded sets and early opportunities, the Dolphins finally opened the scoreboard in the 26th minute with Kenny Bromwich picking up a loose Corey Oates ball before finding a charging Jarrod Wallace to score.

Trailing by 4 points after a Josh Addo-Carr hat-trick put the Bulldogs on track for a Round 6 upset, Melbourne dug deep to send new recruit Shawn Blore over for a 75th minute match-winner.

Having also come from behind to steal victories from the Warriors and Broncos at home this season, Craig Bellamy's men once again defended their fortress to secure their fourth victory for the season.

After coming up with a one-on-one steal to hand his side a chance on the line, fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen opened up the scoring for Melbourne after finding space close to the line.
