What we saw from the match officials on Friday night during the game between the Knights and Sea Eagles was a clear indication that the NRL still doesn't have the proper use of the video bunker sorted out. The try awarded to Manly's Akuila Uate in the corner of Lottoland was so clearly not a try that it opened the game up to ridicule.
You can't have a blatantly wrong call like that get through because of an on-field communication mix-up. If that kind of shocker is going cost a team a victory, like it did on Friday, then they need to change the system. I'd be all for the bunker having a quick look at a replay after every single try. It wouldn't take any longer than the three or four on-field officials looking for clues from each other. It has to be better than a repeat of Uate's try.
What we saw from Penrith's Matt Moylan on Saturday against the Raiders at Bathurst was something very special, just unbelievable. Moylan took it upon himself to lift the Panthers and carry them to victory, and over the final two minutes of the game he orchestrated a remarkable set of plays which led to a match-winning try.
Since moving to five-eighth, Moylan has been playing out of his skin. He put the sword to the Bulldogs last week and this week against the Raiders he put on a one-man show. The five-eighth position suits him best, because he gets the ball earlier and he gets it where and when he wants it.
Moylan will be the long-term answer for the Blues at No.6. Sharks star James Maloney owns the jersey at the moment and will continue in that role while successful, but down the track Moylan and his Penrith teammate Nathan Cleary will take over in the halves for New South Wales. If he continues to master the ball-running and passing game as well as handle the added defensive work, he has the potential to be one of the greats.
The Broncos have a call to make in the halves following the injury to Anthony Milford. It puts a lot of pressure on Wayne Bennett's move last week to drop Ben Hunt to reserve grade. Milford will be out for six weeks with a shoulder injury and Bennett will have to find a new combination out of Hunt, Kodi Nikorima and Benji Marshall. Nikorima appears to be the halfback of choice at the moment and they are having a lot of success with him in the No.7 jersey, but I think the Bronocs need Hunt in the side and firing if they are to be a force towards the end of this year.
It is a tough decision for Bennett, but they have a bye this week, which will give Hunt another chance to iron out his running game for Ipswich. The two-week long kick up the backside might be enough to have Hunt back to his best, but at the moment Nikorima is doing everything right.
The Warriors surprised me and most rugby league followers this week with the way they came together against the Titans at Robina. Shaun Johnson said after the game that the team were very conscious of it being Ryan Hoffman's 300th game and they all wanted to make sure he marked the milestone with a victory.
If you are a fan of the Warriors you would find that statement extremely frustrating. If the Warriors can lift like that for one special game, why can't they do it for the rest of the season? If they could string together performances like that all year, they'd be playing finals football and threatening to win a premiership. They have the ability and the talent, but rugby league is a simple game, played mostly between the ears - if you're not 100 percent switched on, you don't win.
Titans forward Jarrod Wallace was charged with a grade 1 shoulder charge in that game against the Warriors. The Titans have indicated they will fight the charge and I think Wallace should get off. The NRL set the precedent a few weeks back when Sam Burgess argued that he was bracing himself for impact when he flattened Greg Eastwood with his shoulder. The Wallace impact has a lot of similarities and it would be a horrible call to see him miss an Origin debut because of it.
