In his 100th NRL game, Josh Kerr led the Dolphins to their first win over Melbourne in a stunning 42-22 victory.

Kerr's impact was immediate, scoring a try and setting the tone for his team's dominant performance.

Halves Isaiya Katoa and Kodi Nikorima were instrumental in dismantling the Storm defense, turning a 16-2 deficit into a commanding 42-16 lead.

However, the physical match took a toll on both teams, with players from both sides unable to finish the game due to injuries.

Meanwhile, the Canterbury Bulldogs maintained their undefeated start to the season with a resounding 32-0 win over South Sydney in front of a record-breaking crowd of 65,305 at Accor Stadium.

This attendance marked the biggest ever for a standalone NRL game, surpassing the previous record set in 2013.

The Bulldogs' strong performance solidified their position as a team to watch in the competition.
