North Queensland veteran Jason Taumalolo will play his 300th game in Townsville against Penrith as planned after dodging suspension for a dangerous throw.
Ronaldo Mulitalo always wants to put his "nuts on the line" during play, but says he would have been a "cry baby" had he let his stoush with Mark Nawaqanitawase continue beyond full-time.
Latrell Mitchell's return from a back injury, and game-three State of Origin hopes, have been thrown into doubt after he left a crucial South Sydney field session.
One day after breaking his arm, Blayke Brailey wrote a note on the door of his house that told him he would be back playing rugby league in three weeks.
It was an interesting post-Origin round with the depleted Panthers losing to the lowly Titans, the Warriors winning in Christchurch, the Bulldogs thieving a victory over Manly and Roosters firmly putting the Sharks in their place.
Mark Nawaqanitawase has returned from his whirlwind State of Origin debut to star in the Sydney Roosters' 27-8 defeat of Cronulla and claim bragging rights over frequent tormentor Ronaldo Mulitalo.
