This week, not much action on the surface—no coaches sacked, no big player trades—but dig a little deeper, and there's turbulence: injury crises, wild card moves, and coaching shake-ups looming.
The top of the tipping table is congested, wildcards are changing the game, and the last man standing could be decided in this weekend’s tough matches. Plus, the upcoming clash at Leichhardt and Campbelltown, where home ground advantage and discipline could make or break teams.
Worth thinking about: even in a quiet week, the stakes are higher than ever!
