What if there's a QLDer who has been given a NSW player, and a NSWelshmen who has been given a QLD player? What about Greg Inglis? What about James Tamou?

In the event of an anomaly such as that it will be decided through a best 2 out of 3 game of rock, paper, scissors where a coin toss decides which person will be allowed to use their dominate hand 2 out of those 3 times.

So is it 17 on 17? Has afs confirmed this anywhere? In which case, how is this a game of Mafia (the definition of the game is an informed minority against an uninformed majority)?

He hasn't confirmed it, but he couldn't run it without the required 35 players.

Assumption from that leads to 17 vs 17 plus a ref, although the removal of two players at the start changes that slightly.

It's not mafia in the traditional sense, but with similar game mechanics (and some not so similar)

Afs hasn't confirmed that. All we know is the scene is the SoO game. Could be supporters, coaches, commentators, legends, etc. involved.

When I asked AFS what the go was, he responded with the following:

Even then, 16 QLDerps and 16 NSWmen plus two refs leave one extra. So it can't be just players.

Could be 17 vs 17 including coaches.

Or Teo and Fifita might not be dead, we're assuming they won't be back on the field at some stage.
