The Roosters scored 50+ for the first time since Round 13 2007, they also held their opposition to nil for the second week in a row, becoming the 17th team in History to achieve that feat, and the first team to do it since Brisbane who did it in Round 24 and Round 25 2006, it was also the 6th time (as well as the record of 3) the Roosters had achieved that feat, and the first time since Rounds 2 and 3 1999, they would do it again in Rounds 17 and 19 (bye Round 18) this season.

The Warriors suffered their biggest loss and conceded their most points in a match, eclipsing the 54-0 defeat against St George Illawarra and the 58 points they conceded against the Roosters in 2000 and 2004 respectively, it was also Penrith's biggest score since 2004 and the highest score by any team since 2008.
The West Tigers set a new club record for longest losing streak with their 7th straight loss, beating the previous record of 6 which happened twice before, the most recent of which in 2003 (and also, later on in the 2013 season).

The Storm recorded their highest score and win at AAMI Park, after giving the Eels a 64-4 hiding, the loss all but handed the Eels their 2nd consecutive wooden spoon after the Tigers beat the Dragons the day before, which put the Tigers 3 wins clear of Parramatta with 2 games to play, the Dragons were only 2 wins clear of Parramatta at that point, but due to the differential gap between the 2 teams, it was almost impossible for them to receive it.
This round ended the finals hopes of Brisbane and Canberra, the former losing to Penrith, who kept their slim finals hopes alive in and the process, the latter losing to Manly, who all but secured their place in the top 4 with the win.

The Bulldogs ended the Panthers slim finals hopes, booking themselves in the finals at the same time, this meant only Titans and Warriors were the only teams with a chance to make the finals.

The South Sydney-Sydney Roosters match drew the largest attendance for a standalone home and away game in the competition's history.[ 4]
The final 8 was decided after the Titans-Storm match, after the Warriors had lost earlier in the day to the Dragons, the Titans had to beat Melbourne and hope the Tigers beat the Cowboys (which didn't end up happening) for them to make the 8, despite a strong effort from the Titans they eventually went down in Golden Point to Melbourne, meaning no team could get in or fall out of the 8 from this point on.
