Back to Thursday night play, in the NRL at any rate.
Both competitions ran true to form last weekend.
The NRL offers a few more uncertainties this weekend, but largely among the bottom tier teams.
The AFL has a few close run games, but the upsets will probably come in the games with greater disparity between the competitors.
