Upset Alert is on fire — and the boys are taking a victory lap.This week on Down The Sideline, Boldo, Tim and Adrian review last week’s Upset Alert predictions before diving into the big rugby league stories of the week.The boys unpack the State of Origin fallout after Queensland’s Game 2 win, asking whether Queensland are simply that much better, whether Laurie Daley is out of his depth, and what changes NSW need to make before the decider.They also discuss the NRL’s match in Christchurch and whether the city should be home to New Zealand’s second NRL team. Was it just one strong event, or did Christchurch make a serious expansion statement?There’s also chat on Penrith resting stars against the Titans, the Dolphins’ push toward a first finals appearance, the Sharks attack looking clunky despite Nicho Hynes returning, the Roosters’ physical win, the Tigers fading, the finals logjam, Round 17 tips and this week’s Upset Alert.Down The Sideline — rugby league through the lens of media, money and market share.
