DSM5 said:Globaleagle, I thought that if one was picked, and then said no, you couldn't play for your club that weekend. I might be wrong though. If I'm right then there's a real reason for cap relief for the time that a player is injured in this extra game.

Besides who even remembers origin a week later, it's not worth injuring club players even afl no longer have an origin game.
AFL are re-introducing Origin next year.
State of Origin drew more than 4 million viewers for Game 1.
Your argument has no merit.
AFL aren't re-introducing Origin next year. They are toying with the idea of an all star game in the preseason, not an Origin contest.
I love Origin and love watching Manly players play in it. If Choc knows the risks and is willing to take them on I'll support him 100%. If it was a total duty of care on the doctors than collision sports like league wouldn't even exist.
