Knights hang on to beat Titans
The Newcastle Knights recorded their first ever NRLW victory away from home with a 16-12 win over the Titans on the Gold Coast.
"We made it really, really hard for ourselves," Knights halfback Jesse Southwell told ABC Sport after the match.
"But [we] came away with the win, not a great win, but there's still lots of stuff to work on so I guess that's a positive."
The Knights opened the scoring through Autumn-Rain Stephens Daly but were pegged back instantly when Zara Canfield wrestled the ball down for her first NRLW try.
Queensland hooker Emma Manzelmann then ignited the Knights with a try and an assist for Tamika Upton just before half time to give the visitors a handy 10-point lead at the break.
Neither side could get going in the second half until Georgia Hale sent Steph Hancock over for the hosts with a lovely no-look pass.
However, the Knights held on to record back-to-back NRLW wins for the first time in the club's history.
The Titans ended the game with 12 players after Canfield was sin binned for a high shot on Upton.
Dragons edge Eels
St George Illawarra coach Jamie Soward anointed the Sydney Roosters as the best side in the NRLW ahead of their top-of-the-ladder grand final rematch with his Dragons side on Friday.
A 16-10 win over Parramatta ensured Soward's side head to Moore Park next week to open the new Sydney Football Stadium with a perfect start.
The Roosters, who defeated the Dragons in the grand final of the 2021 competition, are also off to a perfect start and will want to open life at the new ground with a bang.
A try-scoring double to Page McGregor and tries from Keele Browne and Teagan Berry helped the the Dragons to victory after Parramatta had taken a 10-8 lead in at half-time at Western Sydney Stadium.
"Coming here today and winning is a bonus," Soward said.
"I think the Roosters were outstanding yesterday and they are the clear favourites to win the competition.
"They are playing at their new $1billion stadium and we are battered and bruised on a shorter turnaround.
"We'll patch our team together on Tuesday and get on the bus on Friday."
Soward's side had to overcome a mounting injury toll including a knee problem for Talei Holmes, while star prop Elsie Albert struggled for impact on her return from an ankle complaint.
At one point the Dragons had just 14 fit bodies with captain Kezie Apps and forward duo Teagan Dymock and McGregor all being sent for head injury assessments.
McGregor and Browne got them off to a perfect start but their hard work was undone by the devastating combination between Eels centre Tiana Penitani and rugby union sevens convert Gayle Broughton.
The pair set each other up on their own tries in the first half but the Eels could n0t push on after the break.
After McGregor and Berry added a second, Broughton went off for a head injury assessment late in the game but Eels coach Dean Widders was happy with how she was adapting to the NRLW.
"She's really solid in the simple things as a fullback," Widders said.
"We see some amazing things from her at training.
"As she builds, I think you'll see a player we probably haven't seen in the women's game. I hope we can keep improving and she will be a big part of that."
