Three tippers scored perfect rounds in Round 16, with the stunning comeback by the Redcliffe Dolphins against the Ipswich Jets catching out the others.
Harvey Norman Queensland Maroon Annette Brander, former Maroon Brent Tate and commentator Peter Psaltis all had an unblemished round. The perfect seven from seven moved Psaltis to the top of the ladder, while Ben Ikin, Jeff Horn, Joel Gould and Petero Civoniceva secured six from seven.
