Full highlights and details from all Round 3 matches of the 2020 NRL season.
BRISBANE BRONCOS V PARRAMATTA EELS @ SUNCORP STADIUM

Dally M: 3 – Jason Taumalolo, 2 – Valentine Holmes, 1 – Reece Robson
SYDNEY ROOSTERS V SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS @ BANKWEST STADIUM

MANLY SEA EAGLES V CANTERBURY BULLDOGS @ CENTRAL COAST STADIUM
