50 Random Rugby League Thoughts – Part Two

41. Staying in Melbourne, expect Will Chambers to become the most sought after man in the game. Now that the halves merry-go-round is almost finished, a superstar, Origin level centre is sure to attract plenty of interest.

42. Aidan Guerra, Luke Lewis, Ryan Hoffman and Alex Glenn are all off contract. Four rep back rowers who would present great value. Ahem, perhaps see comment number 26.

43. A large majority of the season's lowest crowds have featured NRL 'glamour teams' the Rabbits, Sea Eagles and Bulldogs. Membership numbers can be deceiving.

44. Anyone else sick of seeing these "shoosh" columns in the media? Either name the player or don't say anything. That said, look for another NRL player to be in trouble before the end of the season. Shoosh though.

45. Mal Meninga has taken some incredible steps towards making the Kangaroo jersey matter once again, but Origin is still the pinnacle of the game. That won't change until The Kiwis or Poms win the world cup. Australians care much more when they're chasing something.
