Seibold: I have no confidence in what is a sin bin and what isn't
Round 8 of the NRL season has been the round of multiple sin bins and Manly coach Anthony Seibold (34.08) saw 3 players binned in his team's win over Penrith. He told Andrew Moore and John Gibbs that he's got plenty of sympathy with the referees but that he's not sure what the bunker will decide about the outcome of any tackle. He also gave an update on the fitness of Tom Trbojevic and said he's got full confidence in the commitment of Daly Cherry-Evans.

Blake Steep: I shared a last moment with my Dad
Sydney Roosters Blake Steep could barely believe the crowd he walked out in front of at the Football Stadium on Anzac Day - but even more unbelievable is his real life rescue story.
