Billy Slater dives into a round full of crucial wins and heated moments, including the controversial penalties and head clashes that defined the Warriors-Dragons and Storm-Panthers games.

He gives his opinion on why the Roosters are a "really well balanced team" and heaps praise on the form of both Sam Walker and Harry Grant.

Billy also discusses the Broncos-Dolphins derby and the turning point for the Wests Tigers, before answering a big listener question on Payne Haas and revealing his top three code hoppers.
