I personally thought that greg was not bad but for him was playing within him self.However the past 5 weeks kylie has been phenomenal outstanding effort!

Thanks for that.

Long term Widdop turning out for England on Saturday won't change very much then should Australia come calling in the future looking for a SOO full back.

Is Halifax NSW or Queensland?

Actually, would he qualify to play Origin?

The rules used to be where you were born, then they added where you played IIRC which would have made Morley eligible for New South Wales because he played for the Roosters.

Given that Widdop was neither born in, nor plays in either NSW or Queensland would he qualify for neither or both?

Don't they count Melbourne as a Queensland team? All their junior sides play in the Queensland comps.

Perhaps, a bit like Fulham playing in the Lancashire Cup.



The Morley one wouldn't get very far I suspect while he was still turning out for GB. Isn't being available to play for Australia also part of the SOO selection criteria?

That said Adrian Lam was born in PNG, brought up from a young age in Brisbane, played in the ARL for the Roosters, played SOO for Queensland while playing for the PNG national side. So there must have been some latitude afforded in his case.

I can't imagine their are many genuine english players in the NRL, last thing I want to see is a load of aussies playing for England just because they can get a passport but are not good enough to get into the Aus team.
