NRL Power Rankings: Round 8 - Rabbits hit rock bottom, Warriors show signs of complacency, Dragons' bubble bursts

Following the success of this year’s post-series hysteria, Origin will now be expanded to formally include an everlasting fallout.
The decision was made after debate continued to rage so long following the decider that some players involved in the series have since died of natural causes.
The delirium centred mostly around New South Wales’ culture, with opinions on the topic so popular it will now be included as a question in the next census.

Festivities will include Phil Gould and Andrew Johns with carte blanche to snipe without actually offering any help, while tabloid journalists will be asked to act normally.

There are concerns about an already overcrowded rugby league calendar, with many confused on how to find room in the schedule for something that runs forever.
In addition, fans have raised issues with the length of time of an eternal aftermath, but officials believe it shouldn’t be any worse than waiting for kick-off.
When approached for comment, Queensland were said to be approving of the plan to discuss Blues losses interminably.
As for New South Wales, they were happy to commit to the plan “as long as it’s okay with Andrew Fifita.”
