With 2021 entering the final week of it's first month, the wheat has started to become separated from the chaff.
Whether your side is unbeaten or unbackable, each of the NRL's 16 teams still have quandaries to ponder as the road to September begins to narrow.
Once again, here are the big questions facing every team as they enter a blockbuster Easter Round of Rugby League.
Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs
How bad could their Good Friday clash get?
Having failed to cross the white line since the 75th minute of their Round 1 clash against the Knights, Trent Barrett’s Bulldogs look abominable.
With their season now 240-minutes old, the Belmore boys currently average a despicable 5.3 points per game – even with their re-tooled line up.
Posting a goose egg against a powerful Penrith line-up in sodden conditions should never be expected, but depending on how sympathetic you are to the rebuilding side, it could be excused.
Failing to score against last season’s wooden spooners in conditions tailor made for footy, is about as poor as a Dickensian protagonist.
"We need to fix our own backyard and fix some things quite quickly because there is some things in our game that aren’t good enough."
Trent Barrett speaks following the loss to Brisbane.

With South Sydney averaging 23.3 points and four tries per game in 2021, some suggest that all the need do to take the two competition points this weekend is show up.
Still, as Easter has always been centered around the theme of rebirth, Trent Barrett will be desperate for the same to happen with his squad.
That or actually scoring for the first time in 165-minutes.
