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…
Dykes would be ideal, you’re spot on.
Yeah Iro is an outside back.
Possibly Tracey to 6 if Kennedy back and even Talakai to the bench for Iro.
But Nicho back hopefully next week.
Ricky will have Raiders up and about
Shoulder injury a downer after perfect Ponga delivers eighth win on the trot to lift Knights past Sharks into fifth spot
Wonder when / if the likes of Kayal Iro will get a run to add some spark.
Can’t see any reason to include Moylan from here on

Hats off to the Knights, they just outplayed us. Dangerous on both sides and aggressive pack.
Not even Nicho could’ve saved that.

As Cleary said, that sucks for Penrith.
Opposition teams will have noticed the alarming tendency for To’o to come in, gifting Sivo at least 3 tries.
If it’s because he doesn’t trust his inside men, they have to get that sorted. Ponga, Munster, Walsh and the gang will be licking their lips.

Respect the humility in admitting misreading the Knights.
Principal Skinner could learn from this admirable character trait.
“It takes a big man to admit he’s wrong. Unfortunately, I am not a big man.”
NRL Power Rankings: Up up Cronulla, down, down the Bunnies and bye, bye Parramatta for another year
I was frothing!
ANALYSIS: Sharks all but in after crushing win as Cowboys attack falls flat - good job they completed high, right?
Agree. More desperation would’ve stopped the 2nd try and don’t let Townsend prance across the field – just move up and whack him. Legally.

And for the mighty Red V to upset the Storm
That hurt to type

Cancun or Thailand?
Please pull the Storm’s pants down

Easily our best win this season.
Fitz has made some good tweaks and maybe threatened to apply his ju jitsu to anyone guilty of arm grabbing in defence.
Finals type effort

Wade retiring might be the best thing to happen to our season. He’s playing like it’s 2016 again and has stiffened up that pesky left edge.
Trindall and Tracey also huge ins. Especially Trindall kicking frees up Nicho.
Up up September

Please don’t bring common sense into the discussion
As the Matildas match the Socceroos’ World Cup effort, pride in Australian football is at an all-time high
Nice analysis Mike. You hit the nail on the head regarding big men. Would give my right arm for 2 big alpha male props. The old 1/2 punch that opens things up. Penrith and Brisbane both have them.
Fitzy surely knows this and will go shopping.
And a 5/8 who can defend and run the ball please, although that might be greedy.
Why good teams can pick the Sharks apart - and why Will Kennedy is the player they can least afford to lose
I don’t care if he’s wearing adult nappies!
Time's up Teddy: Why NSW's Game III win creates the perfect moment for Tedesco to ride off into the Origin sunset
It was nice seeing the old buck put away the young bull for a try.
End of an era to a new era, who knows?
And on the topic of age, I don’t care if Walker’s 40 next year – pick him.

Slater certainly looked relaxed with his players on the Goldie last weekend.
Apparently Jack Daniels pays its top tasters 70K. I didn’t grow up wanting to be a Jack taster, but our ambitions change over time, I suppose.
Billy Slater has the best job in the world - that's why he shouldn't swap Origin for the NRL
Now I’m getting excited…
Smashing his way through adversity and quelling the haters - the Mitch Marsh journey may have only just begun
Good article, as usual. Carey’s fast becoming one of our better keepers in recent memory.
Although not as devastating as Gilly with the bat, his athleticism and nous have him right up there.
Stumped for answers: It’s got to be over for bumbling Bairstow as he crosses the line between wicketkeeper and backstop
I challenge Rishi Sunak to name 5 English cricket captains. Or players.
Aussies have nothing to apologise for over Bairstow's blunder: England lost because they played Blaséball
Neither Jonathan Agnew on the BBC nor Nasser Hussein and a host of other Poms seemed particularly bitter about it.
If anything, they were ruing the fact England didn’t have the resolve to play “hard” cricket and were “dozy” in key moments.
Only petulant types too caught up in their own sense of greatness seem not to grasp the fact England were already on the ropes.
Cummins and Carey to arrive at Headingley in the Popemobile at this rate.

Couldn’t disagree more.
The moral thing? Please.
Cricket has often deluded itself with an air of moral superiority over other sports, when the reality is most teams will do anything within the rules to win.
That’s a a part of life and England would most definitely be patting themselves on the back if they’d pulled it off.
COMMENT: Cummins failed the moral test and tarnished these Ashes. He had the chance to be a legend and blew it
Whatever you may think of it, the Bairstow dismissal didn’t cost England the game.
It was just a matter of getting Stokes out, having already forced his hand.
'Worst thing I’ve ever seen in cricket': Broad, McCullum whinge about Bairstow drama but McDonald returns serve
Ha!
Or why not do it like the Seppos with their All Star teams and let the fans choose?
What could go wrong!
Origin III predicted teams: Blues cop fresh hits on injury front, Slater coy over Maroons fullback options with Walsh out
Can’t believe Drinkwater’s name isn’t being thrown around.
But what would we know….

I’d argue the Chooks have the better pack – other than NAS, Melbourne’s forwards didn’t offer much last week.
As much as had been made of the Roosters backline outs, the Storm backline is also pretty underwhelming.
Plus Easts have a very decent spine and no Hughes for Storm.
Mad Monday at St Kilda Bowls Club, great day out.
Tactical Preview: Teddy and the North Sydney Bears should be a picnic for the Storm - but can the Roosters' D see them home?
