I'm not fussed on match fitness with this bloke. Because, put simply, every Origin line-up needs a garden variety hitman.

I love how they use the word 'enforcer' as a euphemism for 'thug'. It's league journalism 101.

That was a pretty shocking round of tipping from all bar *99. I don't know what come over myself, tipping the Raiders, or against the Knights... I couldn't exactly figure out why everyone else tipped the Raides either. Wright did enough to keep himself a margin at the top, whilst there is now a group of 5 of us just 3 points behind.

Today's paper had Wendell Sailor able to return to professional football on Monday. Talk that the St. George Dragons will try and get him back through North Devils in the Queensland Cup. Jason Smith talking up his Origin chances for next year, or even game 3 this year (can't see it happening myself). Also, Wendell still wants to play the wing, not keen on playing in the pack.

Not sure what the status is on Adam MacDougall, but would be good to see those two go up against each other again. One of the great contests of the late 90s-2001.

Wendell for Origin? No Thanks.

Also rumours he might turn out for Newtown before playing for Saints.
