There are no referees in Origin. Merely Entertainment facilitators. Origin is Bill Harrigans lovechild, and lets face it, it is rather shite as a spectacle.

The blatant disregard the refs have for enforcing the rules of the game makes origin poo poo.

Wally Lewis is the worst commentator. Its less about describing plays and more about drinking beer and having the best seat in the house with a mike

Can't believe that the refs still refuse to use the bin. The players are just taking the piss now.

All over Red Rover. NSW have seriously been pretty ill disciplined, and have had very little ideas in attack. And Cronk is a decent half back. Injuries got NSW this series, they have a better forward pack on paper, but they still need a decent halves pairing. Anasta's dream may not be dead (even if his bicep is).

Deserved result, but I'm still pissed that the refs won't bin anyone. The game could be so much better if they used their rules correctly.

Along with no rape, no dogs and no peeing. If they are not going to enforce a rule, then remove it. Otherwise do your job. Oh dear, time for awkward post game ceremony. Gallen, ah there IS a god.

In news that should surprise nobody, Liam Fulton has retired effective immediately. Now I'm worried what the results of the scans he got were; hope they weren't too bad and this is just being safe for his future.

I hope its nothing to severe. I really hope this is the year the NRL actually get serious about player health and safety. Besides concussion and McKinnon there needs to be a system in place for all the players all grades, not just the popular high profile players. I'm going to write a letter when I can to the NRL boss beyond that I'm guessing its something that can only be agitated for through the clubs.

Busy day in rugby league today - Wolfman banned from playing the rest of the season due to betting - Liam Fulton retires - Bennett quitting the Knights at the end of the year - Darius Boyd doesn't surprise anyone with a terrible media presence http://rugbyleagueweek.com.au/darius-boyds-best-worst-interview/ - Trent Merrin out for a month with injury - Reynolds, Teo and that guy that leads with the head and elbow all facing weeks on the sideline from Origin

Greg Bird almost getting his throat crushed by Nate Myles was fun. I'd like to know what Williams's gambling involved, as well as everyone else that copped a suspension.

Also Bird was suspended for 2 games so that's good. Oh and Reynolds copped 3 weeks for that shoulder charge to the jaw that the commentators said was nothing.

To be honest the manly one was a try, brooks hosed up and took the decoy. Can't believe we've been hosed by Hayne yet again. Our record under him is abysmal, and there's always poo poo calls.
