With Origin on a break we're back to the bread and butter of top-level league, club footy. Tonight, 'The Battle of Brookvale', reprise. Does the bitter feeling ever subside? Manly v Melbourne, of course.
Friday, it's a keen spoon-fight, the disappointing Knights at home to the Titans. The Newcastle fans will be particularly upset if they lose this one at home, in the forecast wet. They've paid good money for starters.
The Panthers, off their Origin heroics, are back home to face the Roosters. I have a crazy Roosters mate who's simply lost his nerve this year. He's rostered himself on at work rather than head down to Penrith for this. But who can blame him?
Saturday, it's the improved Dogs v Sharks. If I was in the Bulldogs management I'd try to transfer every home game this year to Belmore, just to take advantage of this resurgence. But is it fragile? We'll find out. The Cows v Broncos will be good, as always, but both sides are going so well too.
The Rabbitohs v Eels is the prime-time game. This will be hard to pick, due to Souths playing beneath their ability and the Eels being flaky.
Sunday, oh Sunday! It's emotional. Mt Smart, of course. But a Tigers side can pop the party balloon. We know that. The important thing though, is just being there.
We close out with the Dragons v Raiders. Both sides haven't lost finals hope. Those two points are crucial in that context.
Enjoy. Especially those Mt Smart drums.
