Tom seems to be in better form and fitness than he was at this point last year but it still feels like he is holding himself back at the moment. It wasn't until the week before Origin last year in Canberra where we really saw him explode so I think he obviously still wants to play, and his form and ability even not at 100% is still easily good enough to make the side
Have close to zero interest in the exhibition series that is Origin these days anyway but I do hope if he does play that he a) makes it through the period fit and healthy and b) performs at that top Origin level and puts in 100% effort for us for the remainder of the season. Good chance we could only have him for 2/6 games from rounds 14-20, and could drop a couple of winnable games in that time, so we better actually have him at the end of the season for once as we head into finals. If he gets injured playing for NSW again there should be some serious conversations had
