With soo many Kiwis in our team it protects us a bit from origin, and most of the rest are on the older side which Billy is very unlikely to pick as he tends to build his teams for the future.
Chur my bro.
I don't know whether Willison and Mariner have ruled themselves out of contention being Kiwis, but I could see both sniffing around the periphery of the Origin squad.
Willison has been selected for kiwis this pac champs, but not sure if that automatically rules him out or if he needs to play a game for them first. I think he came to Aus pretty late though, so he may not even be eligible under the rules.
Regardless, I think they're both Origin standard, or at least in the conversation.
I could see Jesse asking for a release given he's in a contract year... becomes hard for him to secure a decent contract if he's in reserve grade, but also dropping down the list at broncos with guys like Verhoeven coming through.
He was leading try scorer in the comp early last season, and being lusted after by the Reddit cottagers.
We had the second best attack in the comp, so I wouldn't be surprised if the combined tries for our left sided wingers leads the comp.
So neither qualify for origin
