The week before Origin 2 is upon us, leaving just five games, a host of new faces around squads thanks to Origin, and a nonetheless exceptionally important round of footy ahead of the ten teams on field.
Origin weeks always throw up chaotic results, but that means there is plenty of value to be found in the try-scoring markets.
Last week we went two for five in our predictions, but we will say our value play of the week got up in almost the exact way we tipped.
Moving onto Round 15, and there are plenty of players who will be out to cause havoc for their opposition.
Here are our most likely five.
Sione Katoa (Cronulla Sharks)
The Dragons defence was nothing short of an abject disaster last weekend when they let in more than 50 points against the Dolphins.
They now move into Round 15 where they clash with a Sharks side seething themselves off a couple of heavy losses.
To put it nicely, the black, white and blue have looked anything but the premiership contenders they have often been touted as.
They will be keen to make a statement in the local derby, and their wingers could have an absolute field day if Nicho Hynes and Braydon Trindall get it right on the inside.
Reuben Garrick (Manly Sea Eagles)
Garrick is overdue for a try.
Despite scoring better than once every two games in his career, he hasn't crossed the white line in five appearances now for a Sea Eagles side who are up and down like a yo-yo.
Manly will be keen on making a statement against the Gold Coast this weekend after a horror show against Newcastle in the second half last weekend, and we expect the Dragons junior to be among the try-scorers.
Dominic Young (Sydney Roosters)
This one is written in the script.
Dominic Young is set to play his final game for the Roosters against the club he will likely play for next weekend.
The towering winger might struggle defensively and with his ball handling, but the Knights defence have been ordinary on the edges at times this year, and Young will likely find his way over at some point in this game on the back of his hard running and excellent aerial abilities.
Herbie Farnworth (The Dolphins)
Herbie has been a try-scoring machine this year.
The English international has blurred the lines between career-best form and his usual form on the back of his consistency, and he has nine tries from 13 games to show for it.
That goes hand in hand with his career strike rate of almost one every two games.
He has now scored in seven straight games, and given the opportunities he is creating for himself on the back of his running game and tackle breaking ability, we see no reason that run won't extend out to eight games.
Keaon Koloamatangi (South Sydney Rabbitohs)
We could have just about made this our value play of the week, but right now, Koloamatangi is setting the world on fire, and his odds are reducing at a similar rate.
He scored last week against the Raiders, and against a weakened middle third for the Bulldogs, he could do the same on Sunday afternoon.
His running game has simply been off the charts in recent weeks, and he is playing enormous minutes, all the while putting him in situations to make his side better.
Value play of the week - Jeremy Marshall-King (The Dolphins)
We are going to go back to the well on our value play of the week.
Last weekend, we called the Cowboys middle third defence as shaky. That paved the way for Tyran Wishart to impose his will on the game and find his way over for a try.
We see absolutely no reason to change that, particularly with the Cowboys missing their Origin players.
Marshall-King is crafty out of dummy half, loves to run the ball when the opportunity presents itself, and isn't a stranger to scoring with one every ten games in his career.
He is just about due for a try, and we suspect it might come here.
