Where are we, halfway into the season? Over halfway? I've lost track in this novel NRL year.
Either way it might be time for our resident Dr Death to report in on the finals hopes of more than a few teams. Let's start with rock bottom, the Dogs. They'd have to be mathematically gone, surely?
Covid-19 is raising its stubborn crown again this week, with a new border closure between Greater Sydney and Qld. Word is that it won't affect the current arrangements for Sydney-based sides to play up there.
Tonight goes off again, Drags v Rabbs. It's must win time. The Rabbs in particular must be feeling tense, as they're currently tenth. There's one 'master coach' who needs to earn his money.
Tigers v Warriors, I hope they play some jungle-ball tomorrow night. Why not? All things being equal you'd think Wests would want it more, and are stronger on paper.
Friday night Shark fright in Brisbane? If so, can Seibold hold on to his job? Or will he be the fourth coach to go, in this funny season? For the Sharks Johnson's hit a purple patch. There's no doubt about that.
Saturday sees Roosters v Titans. We'd all want an upset, not quite as bad as last week though, when the Warriors came close.
Cows v Raiders. Is the trajectory up and up for Sticky's '17 blokes hurting in the sheds'?
Sea Eagles v Panthers. Match of the round.
Bulldogs v Eels. Old Sydney town tussle. Opposite ends of the table.
Storm close off the round at 'home' to the Knights. We'll see how good the latter can match up in a potential final.
