North Queensland blew a perfect opportunity to make a 17th-season premiership win a reality. Win, and play the Storm in Melbourne for a spot in the grand final.

Cronulla centre Ben Pomeroy walked blindfolded into the NRL judiciary last night expecting to be made an example of. Instead, while waiting for the blow, he was hit by a nerf dart.

This Anthony Watmough business just doesn’t add up. Two weeks ago, he didn’t make the Blues team for Origin 1 because of ‘body shape,’ according to coach Ricky Stuart.

The quality of the data that is input into building Sportsdata’s NRL Contribution Value Rating (CVR) is only as valuable as the 50 chosen filters that spurt out the final analysis, which is often heavily interpreted already.

Campbelltown Stadium should be rocking this afternoon as the Wests Tigers host the North Queensland Cowboys in what should be an enthralling affair between two teams in great form. Join us for live scores and commentary from 3.00pm AEST.

After a slow start, Queensland has shot to a 12-4 lead over NSW in the opening game of State of Origin 2012 in Melbourne.

The long trip with the Western Force to South Africa found us in a new country, new time zone, and with a different currency.

95 Have your say

There are many different theories as to why the North Queensland Cowboys have never really fulfilled their potential.

If Jonathan Thurston wants to call himself a five-eighth, then Manly’s Daly Cherry-Evans is now the best half back in the world according to my player ratings.

Wests Tigers snapped a three-match NRL losing streak with a comprehensive 38-18 win over North Queensland on Saturday night in Townsville.

The biggest match on the NRL agenda ended in déjà vu for the Maroons. A dominant performance from the side who gained their sixth consecutive Origin series win and a great send off for the best player in the world, Darren Lockyer.

Monday brought us some major issues in rugby league, but the biggest talking point was most certainly the contrary conduct charge slapped on Cowboys, Queensland, and Australian halfback Johnathan Thurston.

NSW are being reminded Johnathan Thurston isn’t Superman, even when he pulls on a maroon State of Origin jersey.

The first State of Origin game is scheduled to be played in Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium on May 25, and based on the initial four rounds of the NRL 2011 competition, the only certain starter appears to be Shark Paul Gallen.
