I don't think we're going to be able to rest any of the Origin players during the Origin period.

Ben Te Kura suffered a Lisfranc injury and is likely out for the season. Hunt says he needs surgery.

Tristan Sailor out for up to 2 months with an ankle injury.
Oh boy!

I’m really hoping to see more of BTK during & post Origin. Its a bummer that he’s injured.

Who’s our backup fullback during Origin?

Injuries have been throwing spanners at us every week. Probably, adversity brings the best out of the boys and gives them the opportunity to mould and adapt. Last & most importantly, play footy and not flashy stuff every play.

We don't have one.

Sailor should be back for the game we play without our Origin players.
 
Losing Sailor is a big one... Arthars is out for another 4 weeks or so and Cobbo most likely plays origin and taking a lot of yardage carries, so we can't just move him to fullback if we wanted to rest Walsh.

Our back up fullbacks is looking very bare if we wanted to rest Walsh at all through origin.

I'm sure we can find a Trai Fuller...or just sign Trai Fuller.
 
Apparently David Nofolouma is being released from Salford, could be useful during Origin period?

He did have a good stint at the Storm a couple of years back from memory.

He’s been there 5 minutes. One thing you don’t want is a Tigers discard
 
Well there is an option approaching the Dolphins perhaps but I dare not name nor support it lol
 
Found this article randomly regarding Cory Paix with some quotes from his manager. Looks to be eying a move to the UK

14/05/2024

BRISBANE BRONCOS hooker Cory Paix is eyeing up a move to Super League, League Express can exclusively reveal.

Despite holding a contract with the Queensland club until the end of 2025, Paix is keen for more first-team game time after being consigned to feeder club, Wynnum Manly, League Express understands.

Paix played 14 games in a row to begin the 2023 NRL season and signed a two-year extension off the back of that, but the hooker has found himself behind Tyson Smoothy this year – and frustration is mounting.

The 24-year-old had been shopped to rival NRL clubs previously, but the Daily Telegraph has revealed that no bids were forthcoming.

North Queensland Cowboys had been interested in Paix, but that interest cooled when Todd Payten went out and signed Karl Lawton from Manly Sea Eagles.

Paix’s manager, Paul Hogan, has also underlined that the 24-year-old has intention to retire.

“Cory has no intention of retiring,” Hogan previously told the Daily Telegraph.

“He is contracted to the Broncos for another year and we’ve been given permission to look around.

“We’ve looked at a few options but there’s nothing on the horizon at the moment.

“We’ve had some interest, but it’s about finding the right deal that suits.

“Cory hasn’t given up hope of getting back into the team. He scored two tries recently against the Cutters and played the full 80 minutes, so he’s genuinely NRL quality.

"He is training the house down, his attitude at the Broncos is great.”

Despite Hogan’s words, no NRL suitor has come forward which has left Paix eyeing the northern hemisphere as a potential destination.
 
He played in the 36-0 win over the Cowboys- Scott had him running rampant.
