NSW five-eighth Terry Campese has revealed he was recently told he would miss the rest of the season due to a serious foot injury while Queensland has fired the first verbal shot of the Origin series.
Those are the big interstate footy stories in today's edition of Rugby League Week magazine, which also reports that the Central Coast Bears are recruiting players for next season in case Cronulla goes broke.
"Against the Titans I done (sic) my foot. I was almost ruled out for the year, actually,'' Campese tells RLW as he breaks his silence about the reasons behind a recent form slump.
"But the scans showed it wasn't as bad as first expected. I've been playing with a bit of a busted foot.''
Maroons captain Darren Lockyer and winger Israel Folau have called for next Wednesday's referees to stop NSW using illegal tactics to stop the flying Tongan from getting to kicks.
Lockyer tells the magazine the reluctance of match officials to give penalties in Origin could unfairly hurt Folau.
"I don't think he should be disadvantaged by the fact he's just good at something,'' Maroons skipper Lockyer tells RLW.
"Sometimes the ref, I believe, can be a bit lenient towards the defence ... obviously if it's foul play I believe they shouldn't be afraid to blow a penalty.''
Folau added: "Going through to Origin, I expect players to try and block my way. I've been working on that, trying to find ways to get around it and get to the ball.''
Bears boss Greg Florimo, meanwhile, admits his club is sounding out players about joining them next year as the Sharks continue to flounder.
"We are making plans for next year in case an opportunity arises because you never know what scenarios will unfold over the next few months," Florimo says.
"We are focussing on 2013 but will make plans for next year should something happen."
Elsewhere, Arthur Beetson tells how he convinced Mal Meninga to coach Queensland when there was a big push on for Craig Bellamy to get the job.
Luke Patten predicts the Bulldogs can win the competition and Craig Fitzgibbon outlines his decision to quit Sydney Roosters.
Plus Greg Inglis, Chris Close, Petero Civoniceva, Mark Geyer, Brett Morris and the Sharks imbroglio - plus the best in pictures from around the league world.

Darren Lockyer returns to the Queensland side as captain after missing last years series due to injury in a largely predictable side, which includes new Rabbitohs recruit Michael Crocker.
Gold Coast captain Scott Prince again is the unlucky player at the selection table with Lockyer fit to return and Johnathan Thurston in prime form.
Billy Slater has regained the Queensland fullback position with Karmichael Hunt moving to the interchange bench. Slater was fullback for the Anzac Test and the World Cup last year, but Hunt was fullback for the second and third matches.
Crocker's return to the Queensland side was tipped the moment he signed with the Rabbitohs and has produced two strong performances to confirm his selection in the squad.
Justin Hodges missed the series last year due to injury and he replaces the injured Brent Tate in the Queensland squad.
Dallas Johnson was retained at lock despite the much superior form of the Bulldogs David Stagg this season and Stagg easily won the head to head battle last Saturday night.
