Dragons regain their fire, while Toovey's laughs away.

Even though the finals are just around the corner, the race to even reach the top eight is still wide open. So too the chase for the minor premiership, especially after such an incredible weekend of rugby league as the one played last weekend.

Starting on Friday night, the Roosters almost blew a 22-point lead, but did just enough to hold off a strong Bulldogs side 38-28. Also on Friday, the Tigers caused a massive upset defeating the Storm 34-16.

Super Saturday kicked-off "across the ditch" where the Sharks held off a fast-finishing Warriors outfit 18-14. Meanwhile in Townsville, the comeback kings were at it again as the Cowboys came back from an 18-0 deficit at half-time to beat the Raiders 32-24.

In front of the palm trees in Gosford, Manly put a week of turmoil behind it to produce the Sea Eagles' best performance of the season, smashing the table-topping Broncos 44-14.

On Sunday, the Dragons were far too strong for the Knights, winning 46-24 and the Rabbitohs won a 20-16 thriller against the Panthers.

The round finally concluded on Monday night, when the Titans moved off the foot of the ladder after beating a hapless Eels side 24-14.

Here are the best images from another spectacular round of NRL. Enjoy!
