The post-'pinnacle' hangover is here. Poor us, we're back to run-of-the-mill club footy!
Friday, Dragons v Knights. Ponga may as well back up for Newcastle, as he didn't do much last night. What's his problem? Is there still noise of him abandoning the Knights? As if they need that.
Saturday, the Gold Coast have some sore players but they can't afford a rest. The Storm are in town and Tino has psycho NAS running at him. A tough ask isn't exclusive to Origin.
Up in Townsville the Cowboys have Wests. Adam Doueihi was in Origin camp, training with the best. What secrets did he learn? Back at Brookie, it's a flat DCE with much to prove, and no room to rest, against a Broncos side who had, what, only one Origin player?
Sunday, Souths v Warriors. I hope Latrell's not angry. He's copped a bit of stick for his Origin performance - the penalties, the 'drifting' out of the game - but he defended well, and won. He might be sweet but - and it's a big but - he might be sour on that Nanai hit. If so, expect him to come out seeing seventeen 'Nanais' in front of him. We could be in deep trouble!
The Panthers - with five Origin stars (but coming last, in case we still can't believe it) are at 'home' to Parra. Don't expect a change of dressing-room to fool the Eels, their fans will be there in numbers. With a rousing home win against a tired Penrith on the cards.
We close late on Sunday with the Roosters and Raiders. Just one Origin player for the latter but the Chooks had plenty. Bloody Origin, messing with the natural order!
Enjoy.
