Bonza was forced to follow Cronulla since childhood and fortunately suffers from selective memory loss. Last Origin recollection is the Bryan Fletcher hand grenade celebration.

Yep, it's January and I'm thinking of State of Origin. Who isn't? Cricket let us down badly this summer, its role is to distract…
On a completely trivial note – was watching Dragons vs Titans on Fox and when someone dropped the ball, Blocker observed that “it must be humid up there”.
Surely they’re not still calling games from studios, with crowd noise mixed in?
If so, Fox can’t even fork out for a dodgy Jetstar flight with airport hotel thrown in?

Flangan’s influence already clear – Dragons look fitter and hungry.
Telling Lomax “You’re on the wing son” could be the best thing to happen to Zaccy boy.
Titans missing some big guns but woeful in attack. Des won’t cop that and I’d be nervous going to training tmrrw. He may schedule a Sunday arvo training.

Was thinking the same thing about Lomax. After kicking stones this could ironically be the year when he fulfils his potential – on the wing.

Hynes seemed particularly hellbent on making his one-on-one tackles.
RTS shut down as Cronulla hold out for heroic win - is this the end of their flat track bullies tag?
Waiting to see when Fitzy decides to unleash young Kiwi prop Tuku Hau Tapuha.
He brings 196 cm that we could use in the middle.

Sure is.
I was rewatching his try imagining him in a Sharks jersey. Fifita-esque

One of our better season openers since I can’t remember when.
Defence on the edges had been a huge concern of late but we held them out and forced them back infield.
Sharks have been written off because of no alpha male props, but if we can put out a mobile and hard-tackling forward pack we just might be in with a chance this year.

He must’ve stuck with Hastings/Gamble as loyalty to last year.
With Cogger waiting in the wings can’t see that combo lasting much longer if they don’t impro

Something tells me our Sam will take over from Leniu in the headline department
‘Fun and games, banter’: Leniu response to racial allegation beggars belief as ‘heat of the battle’ mentality harms NRL yet again
I think JHW is slumming it in Mosman.
Maybe share a cab after a few $15 almond lattes?

Saw this story on Channel 9’s NRL Instagram and the comments/opinions were pretty brutal towards both sides.
Plenty of people backing both sides and not holding back. A very real insight into Australian society, to be honest.
As for Leniu, he’s now become an obvious target for most teams but Sam Kerr might have taken over the headlines…

Of course!
Burgessing their way to a comp
Thanks for the reminder

I’d be concerned about the lack of anything from the Bunnies halves GB.
Not even Jackie Boy can help with that.
The not-so-secret ingredient that transforms team into title contenders on show as Manly roll Rabbitohs in Vegas
Pretty sure Big Pete’s onto it.
The hard sell from Margot Robbie wouldn’t hurt – she’s a Qld knockabout at heart.

Don’t forget us battlers! Well played sir 👍

Aloiai was strong – good metres and hit hard as usual. Very underrated.

The NRL should (and probably are) think seriously about taking some NRLW teams over next time.
Apart from ticking all the demographic boxes, there’s arguably a bigger market in the US for the women than men.

Is that the first time 3 brothers have played together since the Mortimer/Hughes days at the Dogs?
Is there another one on the way?

Robbo bashers will point to Cronk captain-coaching the Roosters to 2 comps.
However Cronk obviously liked what he saw at the Roosters or he wouldn’t have signed.
He was smart enough to break out the vintage red wines for Brandon Smith’s signature and was repaid yesterday in Vegas.
Is Robbo all he's cracked up to be? The musings of a diehard Chooks fan
Fair point, I didn’t know that.
I suppose what Flanagan did do with Prior and others was instill aggression into their game. You’d think all first graders would have aggression but he took it up a notch.
Trial Takeaways: Bunnies too strong for Dragons, Young taken to hospital, Raiders romp away from Eels, Cogger impresses
I’d trust Flanagan to make the right call. He was masterful in creating our comp winning team.
Not afraid to punt blokes and innovative. He took Matt Prior from twiddling his thumbs in the centres to be a hard whacking prop.
Patience Dragons
Trial Takeaways: Bunnies too strong for Dragons, Young taken to hospital, Raiders romp away from Eels, Cogger impresses
By my reckoning Cowboys, Bunnies, Parra, Manly and even Titans/Dolphins are chances for the top 8 at least.
Which means who drops out?
Raiders? Hurts to say but maybe Sharks?
Bugger it, I’m going to say it…
This could be the best year yet

Very interesting point regarding players who think differently and are therefore hard to contain. Both on and off the field.
Off the top of my head Joey, Alf, Munster, Latrell etc
Could be worth an article if I get off my Payne Haas

Love people game enough to throw up their season predictions.
Agree with most of these, especially regarding the Cowboys and Chooks.
Not sure about the Storm’s outside backs though. Coates is Origin class but otherwise no real Ferraris. That mightn’t matter though.
Predicting the 2024 NRL season - Panthers' era over, Dragons to get spoon, Cowboys rising - and the stars under most pressure
Massively unlikely.
Jetstar has become like the Greyhounds in North America, that are only used by drunks, psychos and those just out of the clink.
