Warriors coach Andrew Webster has put us all out of our misery and selected Tanah Boyd to play halfback in the injury absence of Luke Metcalf.  Is this the right or wrong call?  Te Maire Martin had heavyweight support, including the rugby league god himself Phil Gould, but it’s the former Titans playmaker that gets the nod.

Benji Marshall brings his Tigers to NZ to face Tanah and the Wahs, happy to get a win at long last against the Roosters, and probably even happier to get out of Australia.  ‘Benji-Bashing’ is a daily occurrence in the Aussie media and on social media too.  Not all of us would experience life as a high profile player or coach in the NRL, so Blairy speaks about constant negativity in the media, personal attacks from ‘fans’ and how that impacts a sports person… and their family.

Elsewhere, the Brandon Smith comeback was short lived, and it’s opened up the weekly discussion about hip drops as well.  How come Matt Lodge wasn’t charged, yet Scott Sorensen was (and banned for two games) for his tackle on Dallin Watene-Zelezniak?  And how in the world is DWZ listed to play this week?!  He was supposed to be stuck in the casualty ward until Round 22!! 

And for a laugh, we go again with Betcha This Happens for Round 19.
