Round 1[edit]
The round started on Wednesday night with Richmond defeating Point Chevalier 26-24 to lift the Stormont Shield. They came home strongly with captain Casey Tomai crashing over on full time to claim victory.[37] Richmond first won the trophy in 1934. Mount Albert had a statement win over Howick, 38-12 at Paparoa Park. Andrew Nansen scored 3 tries for the winners while Dion Fraser scored 14 points through a try and 5 conversions. Te Atatu started strongly, leading 10-0 in as many minutes but Papakura gradually took control of the match. Joseph Price scored a magnificent try to stretch their lead to 18-10 before Te Atatu threatened a comeback with a converted try to Penu Figota. However Price made a try saving tackle on Polima Siaki after a big midfield break by Fine Vakautakakala which would have given the Roosters the lead. Papakura's strong running centres Viliami Lolohea and Joshua Tafili caused constant problems on the edges and they cleared out with 3 tries in the last 15 minutes to win 36-16. Otahuhu burst out to a 28-0 lead in 26 minutes including tries to big forwards Sione Feao and Connor Taurua-Purcell in his 150th premier game in the opening sets, but Glenora showed some fight and outscored the Leopards 22-16 over the remainder of the match. Tevita Mikaele kicked 4 goals and scored a try for the home side. At Moyle Park, Kahn Munokoa had a field day for the Manukau side, scoring 5 of their 7 tries. Samuel Nati added the extras for 5 of them in a comfortable 38-18 win. At Blockhouse Bay Reserve the Bay Roskill side made short work of the promoted Otara Scorpions in a ten try rout. Joshua Tanielu scored a double and kicked 2 conversions but Troy Forlong took over the goal kicking converting 6 of their tries. Sefanaia Cowley-Lupo also scored a double.

Round 4[edit]
The televised game was a tight 8-8 draw between Marist and table topping Mount Albert with both sides showing excellent try line defence. Burnie Liaina scored a nice try for the Saints after the Lions failed to defuse a last tackle bomb. Late in the first half Eiden Ackland scored an individual try to level the scores but the game was marred by Ackland later leaving with a hamstring injury after saving a try. Darren Kellett-Moore put the Lions ahead with a penalty before Doux Kauhiva replied with a penalty for the Saints. The deadlock remained unbroken for Marist to record their second straight draw.[58] At Moyle Park the scores was deadlocked 4-4 at halftime and 10-8 to Richmond before 3 tries in the final 15 minutes saw them ease away.

But the Bears came storming back scoring 5 tries, 4 of which were converted by Lonnie Papani to take a 28-26 lead. Zion Tanielu's try, converted by brother, Joshua saw the Vikings retake the lead 32-28, before Maxwell Wichman levelled for Glenora with just minutes left. But Joshua Tanielu slotted a penalty on full time for the home team to edge home. Te Atatu dominated the Scorpions at Ngati Ōtara Park winning 42-0. Jeremiah Poutu scored 4 tries and could have had 2 or 3 more but for some wild passing over his head into touch. Robin Herbert made his first appearance for Te Atatu after having been with the Warriors Jersey Flegg side. With a penalty to Bostyn Hakaraia on halftime the Otahuhu team threatened to take the Roope Rooster trophy from Point Chevalier, leading 14-4 at the break. However the Pirates scored 3 second half tries to take the lead before Connor Taurua-Purcell put the Leopards back on equal terms, 18-18 with time almost up. However the Pirates took all the points with a penalty on full time to win 20-18. Howick pulled off a minor upset at Prince Edward Park in Papakura with a 32-20 win. They moved out to a 16-4 lead in the first half, before the Sea Eagles got it back to 26-20 courtesy of 5 unconverted tries however veteran forward Tony Tuia sealed the game for the Hornets with a converted try on full time.

Full season top try scorers and point scorers[edit]
The full season point scoring and tries is from the 3 Fox qualifying games and the regular season, and then playoff games for the Fox Memorial Premiership and the Plate competition. Some points were unattributed and the Mount Albert v Glenora round 2 game had no official point scoring submitted to the ARL website so these totals are unofficial.
