I think I'd prefer DCE to play Origin as I'd probably enjoy watching us more in those weeks he isn't there, good for NSW if he plays as well.
I'd say Tom needs to repay the club at this point though. We likely lose this weekend and head into the bye at 3-5. After that it's two more tough games with Sharks at home and Cowboys away, every chance we lose both but let's say we win one and are 4-6 heading into the Origin period. I don't think it will look particularly good if Tom goes off to Origin again when we're outside the 8 and needing wins, when he's only just returned from another injury. There's no way he backs up either so I think at best we'd have him for 2 of the 6 games we play over the period.
Time to repay the club, he was allegedly wanting to pay back some of his salary last year but that was never going to be allowed, this is an actual opportunity to give back.
No chance Jake gets picked and Haumole should but likely won't, which is good for us anyway.
