Wests Tigers secured a golden-point win over Sharks, while Raiders staged a comeback against Dolphins in Round 8.

Wests Tigers clinched a thrilling 20-18 victory over the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks in a dramatic golden-point finish at Leichhardt Oval. Adam Doueihi emerged as the hero, kicking the match-winning penalty goal after both teams failed to convert field goal attempts during extra time. However, the match was not without its casualties, as the Tigers` Api Koroisau suffered a knee injury during the tense moments of golden point, while the Sharks lost Mawene Hiroti to a medial ligament injury earlier in the game.

In another exciting Round 8 clash, the Canberra Raiders showcased their resilience by staging a remarkable second-half comeback against the Dolphins, winning 40-28 after trailing 28-10 at halftime. Halfback Jamal Fogarty played a pivotal role in the Raiders` resurgence, contributing significantly to their five unanswered tries.

The Warriors also secured a solid victory, defeating the Newcastle Knights 26-12, with Adam Pompey and Jackson Ford each scoring two tries. Luke Metcalf and Taine Tuaupiki combined for three conversions, solidifying the Warriors` performance. Meanwhile, the Melbourne Storm regained the top spot in the power rankings following Canterbury`s loss, setting the stage for upcoming fixtures, including the South Sydney Rabbitohs vs. Newcastle Knights and Gold Coast Titans vs. Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs at Suncorp Stadium in early May.
