1) Ben Barba is baaaack and set for an absolutely bumper season.

2) Champion Souths fullback Greg Inglis is without doubt a future immortal.

3) David Gallop showed his old boss John Grant how to fill a stadium.

4) Face of the game Anthony Minichiello might have played one year too many.

5) ANZ Stadium is killing club football atmosphere and should be strictly saved for Origin and grand finals.

6) Nothing has changed with Phillip Ronald Gould who is as irritating and annoying as ever.

7) Adam Reynolds will challenge Mitch Pearce for the Origin No. 7 jersey. Pearce had one run for seven metres.

8) The Dogs still have a big problem with T-Rex's work ethic. He made only 70 metres and missed three tackles.

9) Boom Broncos winger Lachlan Maranta should play State of Origin this year.

10) NRL boss Dave Smith won't answer his mobile phone (reception can't be all that good in limos or Lucio's)

11) Brookvale Oval had the best atmosphere of all the weekend games. Long live suburban football.

12) The Broncos can't make the finals with Ben Hunt at halfback and Josh Hoffman at five-eighth.

13) The Roosters desperately missed the strength and fear factor that Luke O'Donnell provided last year.

14) Channel Nine man-of-the-match judges need an appointment at Specsavers. How did Greg Inglis not get the award on Thursday night?

15) Every season opener should be on a Friday night at Allianz Stadium – with a 7.30pm kick-off.

16) The Knights lack direction and can't win footy games without Jarrod Mullen as playmaker.

17) Storm have unearthed the perfect replacement for Gareth Widdop – boom playmaker Ben Hampton.

18) Panthers winger Josh Mansour is not just a powerhouse. His second try against the Knights was pure class and magnificent skill.

19) The Sharks have a sensational young hooker in Michael Lichaa who scored three tries in five minutes in NSW Cup. Pity he's likely to go to the Bulldogs.

20) Brett Stewart should be the NSW State of Origin fullback, even if Josh Dugan is fit.

21) The Panthers' five-year plan has become a six-month plan. They could make the top four.

22) Manly is already missing the defence strategies that Brad Arthur put in place last year before he left for Parramatta.

23) Golden point should be golden try. It's still a lottery.

24) Jamie Lyon and Michael Ennis are still the quinella of best whingers in the competition.

25) Cameron Smith still handles pressure better than any other player in the competition, as shown by his calm match-winning field goal.

26) Ricky Stuart can coach and the Raiders will improve on last season.

27) I didn't think it was possible, but Johnathan Thurston is getting even better. He so deserves to win a premiership.

28) Cowboy Jason Taumalolo has the ability to become one of the NRL's most damaging forwards. He made 207 metres and five tackle busts against the Raiders.

29) Tipping winners is getting harder every year. I'm sitting on 1 from 7.

30) Stop the presses. Referees survived the weekend without a major blunder, although there is one game to go.

31) Ian Roberts' brain damage revelations showed why the shoulder charge and punching had to be banned.

32) Kade Snowden is the most over paid player in the game. Props on $450,000 should make more than 75 metres.

33) George Burgess on half his salary made 145 metres in one half against the Roosters.

34) Joel Caine has got 10 lengths on Tom Waterhouse as an odds spruiker.

35) The Knights have unearthed a future superstar in 16-year-old Harold Matthews fullback Matt Cooper. He scored SIX tries against the Dragons on Saturday.

36) Tigers rookie Luke Brooks is a wonderful prospect but needs to work on his defence. He missed seven tackles yesterday, a la Benji Marshall.

37) Parramatta's 21-year-old Fijian flyer Semi Radradra is an extra special talent.

38) So too is second-rower Manu Ma'u who was outstanding last night against the Warriors.

39) Will Hopoate has lost pace in the two years he was out of the game.

40) Mick Potter is under even more pressure at the Wests Tigers.

41) Dragons five-eighth Gareth Widdop is a very early candidate for buy-of-the-year. Yesterday he produced four try-assists and kicked eight from eight.

42) Parramatta don't have as many fans as the Wanderers.

43) Nothing has changed – the Warriors can't travel.

44) Nothing has changed with $500,000-a-year Adam Blair who made only 44 metres for the Wests Tigers.

45) The Roosters not only have the best senior roster in the NRL but also the hottest kids. Their SG Ball side thumped the Cronulla Sharks 60-6.

46) Braith Anasta is a fine media talent and should have retired last season … or even the year before.

47) Wests Tigers against the Dragons should have been shown live on Channel Nine. And it about time David Gyngell showed us the footy in HD.

48) Good luck Triple M … 2GB's Ray Hadley and Andrew Moore are still the two best rugby league radio callers by the length of a football field.

49) Steve Price can actually coach.

50) The Rabbitohs were clearly the best side we saw in the opening round. The TAB agrees because they have now installed Souths as $4.50 premiership favourites.
