State of Origin will take over the NRL season for the final time this weekend, with five games scheduled and plenty of big names missing in action.
South Sydney will be without a host of key players due to rep duties and injury, while the likes of Gold Coast and Parramatta will also be missing their stars.
St George Illawarra, Canterbury and Wests Tigers will all be looking to bounce back from their horrific Round 18 defeats, which saw the cellar dwellers combine for a total 192 points conceded.
The Sporting News has all the mail for an Origin-disrupted weekend below.
