Even in a BYE week for the NZ Warriors, there’s still SO MUCH to talk about!  Starting off with Kurt Capewell’s selection to the Queensland Origin team for Game 2.  While some would say that his form warrants the call up, others would point to his unwanted league-leading stat - 75 missed tackles - and wonder how that translates to good defending.  So Blairy explains it!  All the best to Cape-Wah in Perth against NSW.


Refereeing & Match Review Committee decisions are in the spotlight, with Benji spraying the ref after the Tigers were beaten by the Panthers…  and Kiwi Dylan Brown accidentally contacts the ref during the Eels’ loss to the Dogs and cops a one match ban!  WTF?  As Mitch Moses says, the MRC are just making up charges these days.


And there’s been so much chatter over the last year or so about Kalyn Ponga; will he play for the Kiwis?  And how soon could it happen?  Blairy & Goran wonder if he should be forced to pick between State of Origin and New Zealand - perhaps he, and others like him, should be allowed to do both!
