Last week was a round of blockbusters based on 2022. This round will be a round of truth moments for a number of games:
Cats v Blues - are Blues improvers? Did they draw with a top 4 team last week? Cats first two losses would start murmerings of premiership hangover, over the cliff etc. I hope the Blues win well
Lions v Dees - Lions were meant to be premiers this year but were poor in the first game. Are they still only Gabba specialists. If they lose heat will be on. Dees early premiership favourites through pre season games and first round. Can they win away against another premiership favourite?
Dogs v Aints - if dogs lose again, the jungle drums will be beating or are the Aints a different team under Ross? A dogs win will just defer the questions on both for another week
Eagles v Giants - this is just 2 bottom of the table teams going at it isnt it? If Giants win 2 in a row, this away from home, it might show that they are better then we think, If Eagles lose at home, we can write them down as wooden spoon contenders. If Eagles win, yes, just positioning of two bottom 8 teams
Scum v Poort - both teams looked the goods last week. Can Poort keep it up away from home. If scum win, wait for the hype to come about Collingwood etc
