Broncos were second on the ladder before Origin.  Being the team with the most Origin players (7 of their best!) they suddenly slumped to barely making the finals series as soon as the three Origin games came.  We also saw the Storm take a tumble when they lost Billy Slater to an injury which he picked up during Origin II.  Is it time consideration be given to either moving the Origin series to another time of year, or giving teams a break during Origin season? Despite falling to a bad slump mid-season as they last that awesome trio of Billy Slater, Cameron Smith and Cooper Cronk to Origin, the Melbourne Storm finally took hold of the Premiership trophy.  And this time no-one will be ripping it from their firm grip. There were many highs and lows.  Maybe you would like to share with us some you feel needs mention.  One fact remains: 2012 NRL will be remembered for a long time.
