## Resource

Magic Round delivered huge score lines but very little drama, with questions now being asked about the state of the game heading into Origin. We break down the NSW and Queensland squads, the Walsh snub, Sam Walker’s rise, controversial selections and whether the modern game is heading towards blowouts at Origin level too. #NRL #RugbyLeague Looking for Kenty merch?
