In Hedland the Rovers upset the Swans with a 16.6 (102) to 10.8 (68) victory.

The Port side also won the reserves match 11.11 (77) to 9.5 (59).

After six rounds the Kats and Wolves are clear at the top of the league table, with the Swans, Sharks and Rovers battling it out for the final two places.
