Massive wins for the Tigers and the Eels bring round two of the 2019 NRL season to a close.
Get the full lowdown on all the day's action.
Tigers all over Warriors to go top
Robbie Farah has turned in his second vintage performance in as many weeks to lead the Wests Tigers to the top of the NRL table for the first time in club history.
Farah twice caught the Warriors napping on blindside plays, grubbered for a third, and then helped himself to a fourth in their emphatic 34-6 triumph.
The 35-year-old's mesmerising display on Sunday comes a week after scoring two tries and assisting on another in their round-one win over Manly.
New coach Michael Maguire is now not only undefeated over the opening two games, but the Tigers are now on top of the league on points differential.
Never in the history of the joint venture have the Tigers led the competition.
And with a round-three match-up against winless Canterbury, the Tigers could enter a bitter face-off against former coach Ivan Cleary sitting at 3-0.
Maguire's Tigers travel to Penrith at Panthers Stadium in two weeks.
The Tigers set up the win after withstanding an early offensive onslaught, symbolised by Esan Marsters' 22nd-minute trysaving tackle on Ken Maumalo.
The home side got on the board not long after through a Marsters penalty, before Farah set up the opening try with a laser cut-out for Corey Thompson.
The veteran hooker then gave his team a 14-point buffer moments before the break when he grubbered for centre Robert Jennings.
A comeback loomed when Maumalo finished off a right-side shift after half-time, however it was merely a hiccup for the 9,881 crowd in Campbelltown.
Mahe Fonua ended any thoughts of a fightback with a try in the 67th minute, before Farah completed a memorable display by burrowing over not long after.
In another positive for the Tigers, skipper Moses Mbye came through unscathed in his season debut after missing round one with a knee injury.
Compounding the defeat for the Warriors was forward Sam Lisone getting cited for a crusher tackle on Thomas Mikaele in the second half.
Eels outmuscle Dogs to stay unbeaten
A Blake Ferguson masterclass has led Parramatta to a 36-16 come-from-behind victory over Canterbury, continuing a horrendous start to the 2019 NRL season for the Bulldogs.
The star winger scored two tries, set up another and ran for 272m on Sunday as the Eels secured their second win from as many games to start the 2019 season.
After finishing with the wooden spoon last year, the Eels look a different outfit this year with Ferguson and rookie five-eighth Dylan Brown having an immediate affect on Brad Arthur's side.
Ferguson's impact bringing the ball out of his side's own end and strike out wide has given the Eels what they have been missing since Semi Radradra's departure at the end of 2017.
Conversely, the result places immediate pressure on Canterbury coach Dean Pay and his side after they were flogged 40-6 by the Warriors last week.
Pay, who is off contract at the end of the season, will now be under pressure to make changes for next week's clash with the Wests Tigers.
The home side began positively enough, enjoying a glut of early possession and by the time they opened up a 10-0 lead, Parramatta had only completed two sets after 20 minutes.
But the Eels dominated from there and piled on 30 unanswered points.
They regained the lead after Ferguson ran through Lachlan Lewis to get his first before young hooker Reed Mahoney set up Clint Gutherson to make it 12-10 at the break
After the resumption, Ferguson set up Gutherson's second before snatching a Josh Jackson pass from the air and running 90 metres.
Another intercept try to Shaun Lane and a Brown four-pointer put the icing on the victory.
Dylan Napa went over for his first try in Bulldogs colours in the 64th minute however it wasn't enough to lend some credibility to the scoreboard.
