Shaun Johnson won the Golden Boot in 2014 and has always been one of the most entertaining NRL players to watch - but has he ever been so close to the Dally M medal? We've run the numbers and, if this was still a betting market, SJ would be a very good option.

Ben Hunt is the Dragons' best player but wants out - preferably back to Queensland and maybe even the Brisbane Broncos. Should the NRL investigate if this is cheating - or is that utter madness?

This week on the Fair Dinkum Department:

• SHOULD THE BLUES MAKE MASS CHANGES FOR GAME 2?

• SHOULD BRAD FITTLER BE SACKED?

• IS JAMES TEDESCO’S NSW SPOT IN DANGER?

• DOES THE NRL NEED TO CHANGE ORIGIN PERIOD?

• IS SHANE FLANAGAN THE MAN FOR THE DRAGONS?

Rugby league outrage: there’s plenty of it. We’re going to decide if it’s real or ridiculous.

Fire up over these questions:

IS DAMIEN COOK’S REP CAREER OVER?

DOES NATHAN CLEARY “NEED” TO WIN THIS ORIGIN SERIES?

ARE THE KNIGHTS IN A MARKET FOR A NO.6?

IS JARROD CROKER DECISION DISRESPECTFUL?

SHOULD THE NRL STOP TAKING GAMES TO NEW ZEALAND?

There's a distinct lack of hype in New South Wales after Brad Fittler's squad announcement. Are the Blues doomed - or is the concern just a little bit ridiculous?

Everyone wants a piece of Magic Round - but Brisbane won't be giving up the NRL festival without a fight. Does rugby league's big weekend work outside of Queensland, though?
