The next era of Maroons dominance looks to be underway, with Kalyn Ponga stepping into the boots of JT and Josh Papalli looking like a combination of Petro and Steve Price.
After an unconvincing series win by the Blues in 2014, and another one last year – the decade of dominance came to a close around about the same time Paul Gallen had closed fists banned from the game forever after his disgraceful dogshot on Nate Myles.
