Brownlow watch, Super Rugby finals & Mitchell Pearce
It's almost finals time in Super Rugby, while the AFL and NRL are in the heart of midseason - so there's plenty to discuss! First it's the NRL, where we examine the huge ladder logjam right now and work out which teams will rise above and who will fall away. Then we ask the dreaded question; should Mitchell Pearce make his Origin return? Super Rugby's up next, where we put the finals hopes of the Melbourne Rebels under the microscope. Then, it's the AFL where we keep our eyes peeled for Brownlow contenders and smokeys, before delivering some midseason report cards. Which teams have overachieved? Who's flopped badly? Matthew Petherick and Daniel Jeffrey are joined by Mary Konstantopoulos, Geoff Parkes and Marnie Cohen.
