Another Origin hangover, this one's felt all the way from WA, which means more players won't back-up than usual. I hope that includes our Kurt, who went hard out last night and deserves a rest.

Friday, I miss the early game. You're just having your first beer but the league doesn't get started until you're four beers in. Anyway, it's the Luai-less Tigers against the rampant vikings. Luai will keep one eye on this and the other on the judiciary.

Saturday, three goodies. Warriors v Penrith at Mt Smart. All the Origin stars are missing for the defending premiers, which makes them dangerous. Us Warriors fans love putting the heebie-jeebies on ourselves. But can you blame us?

The slick Dolphins should deal to Newcastle. Will Ponga play? He might be on a huge high, as his last-minute knock-on didn't cost Qld the series but, gee, it could have. Souths v Storm, Bennett v Bellamy! It doesn't get much bigger in the box.

Sunday, Brisbane host Cronulla. Is Walsh back? His spark could give the Broncos a mid-season boost. The Origin-ravaged Roosters face a Cowboys outfit devastated by last week. Payten is under the pump! But Robbo's not too flash either. We know who needs the win more though.

We close with the Eels and the Tits, live on stage! It's 'Pride Week' so I may as well throw that in. Although, I think Pride is different these days, Oxford Street just ain't the same, I've heard.

Enjoy.

It's no beer for me tonight, the three games tomorrow will be the night to get on it. I can't wait but, starting at about six pm Sydney time, the Warriors better not have killed the mood.

Big effort.

He's going good in the 2nd half but it won't be enough. The Tigers just don't have the killer instinct.

16-12, Raiders. 24 mins left.
...and there you go, the Tiger is pushed over the sideline before the set is done. Hopeless.
...it's all Wests but Canberra are holding firm.
...and now it's a momentum-changer with a Tigers hair pull! You couldn't make that up.

Canberra hold on, 16-12. Poor Benji, Poor Jarome, poor Tigers fans in freezing Campbelltown.
