How did the weekend without NRL work out for everyone? Get bored? Did you actually spend time with your partners and kids because you had nothing to watch all weekend? Anyway, today I will vent over the men’s 2nd Origin match of the season because no matter whether the Blues win or lose it seems difficult to get a balance in the way the match runs out, so I’ll cast my one-eyed thoughts over the outcome. Today’s Talking Point has a quick look at the case of Ronaldo Mulitalo, and how a rule that was changed because of one defector has cruelled his dream of playing for Queensland. And bugger me, the NRL proper returns on Thursday evening, so I’d better have a quick look and let you get all of the wrong tips for the coming weekend.
