We are back to a full NRL round this week, with some really tough games to tip, particularly following on from last weekend's upsets. Are the Dragons about to go on a run to the finals?
This weekend is full of intriguing clashes. Which teams will bounce back from losses, which teams will put back-to-back performances together? Will the Dragons continue their charge up the ladder, as the Bulldogs continue their fall down it?
Brisbane coach Michael Maguire threatened to swing the axe and he swung it hard, with Ezra Mam dropped to the bench and young gun Tom Duffy recalled at five-eighth.
The PNG Chiefs's roster is beginning to take shape, with former NSW State of Origin utility Connor Watson and English Test prop Matty Lees joining the NRL's newest club.
We're rounding the halfway point of the NRL season in between Games I and II of State of Origin and, as ever, there is plenty happening around the clubs. Isaac Issa has it covered in his Midweek Mail.
Manly are performing better without Tom Trbojevic than at any other time across his luckless run of long-term injuries that began more than seven years ago.
