NRL legend James Maloney joins the Bench to take a look at the fallout from State of Origin Game 1, what did we think of the controversy around Kayln Ponga’s high shot and send off, how did the NSW halves actually stack up and what changes are on the cards for game two. We than look at the game of the year between the Panthers and the Warriors and ask if the Warrior Nation are the best fans in the game. After that we run through the rest of the ladder at the halfway mark of the season proper and sum up every side’s chances of heading towards finals footy.
