## Resource

Queensland's search for a new Origin coach has turned into a mess as Kenty breaks down the candidates, the lack of appetite for the job and whether Wayne Bennett is still the emergency option. Plus Clint Gutherson's season-ending injury, Daniel Atkinson's Dragons chance, Michael Cheika's Waratahs move, Latrell Mitchell's Souths return, Isaah Yeo's Panthers boost, Melbourne's $150 million valuation and the Tigers' latest surgery drama. #Blitz #NRL #RugbyLeague Looking for Kenty merch?
