Which Kiwi/English players would make Origin?

[DIMEAST]

With the talk about Origin vs. International footy I was wondering which Kiwi/English players would actually make it into an Origin team? If it was more like an All Stars game. I don't think they'd push any Queensland players out of their positions, maybe Jeremy Smith over Ashley Harrison. Sam Burgess could probably make either side if he actually stayed injury free long enough. NZ probably have a better crop of halves (Marshall, Johnson, Foran) compared to NSW (Pearce, Carney, Soward, Mullen, Maloney). Marshall, Johnson and Foran could probably replace Carney, Pearce and Gidley. Tamou's already in the team and he'd be a Kiwi if he could choose both. James Graham and Gareth Ellis could push for spots. Thoughts?

 

[Alan Johnson]

Luke (for NSW)

 

[ANTiLAG]

Ian Roberts
James McManus
Tonie Carrol
Craig Smith
Willie Mason
Brad Thorn
Ben Te'o would go close.
James Tamou

Lowe to coach.

 

[The Joker]

Sam Kasiano

 

[Deacon]

Nightingale.

 

[Meth]

Who cares?

Keep them (and us) out of it.

I wouldn't want Burgess in my Origin team til he learnt to catch.

 

[madunit]

When will he have time to learn to catch? He's always either going to hospital or in the back of an ambo.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Benji was elidgable to play for qld

However he wouldn't have gotten many games if he went that way, maybe 08 or whenever it was that Lockyer ws injured

 

[God-King Dean]

Pretty sure he injured his Twitter thumb when he offered a Sharks fan out.

Marshall would be eligible for QLD and therefore wouldnt get a run.

Ellis would walk into the NSW side.

Luke would have beat Farah for the hooking spot in Origin 1 but wouldnt now.

Mataulino would have got a bench spot for the Blues and possibly QLD.

There are no Kiwis in rugby league, just out of form Australians...

If union didn't exist and league was the number 1 game in NZ, then the Kiwis would dominate the Kangaroos the same way the All Blacks dominate the Wallabies

Absolute rubbish. If there was only one rugby code then 3 countries would of dominated throughout history, aus, NZ and England (sound familiar?)! Union should thank league for having superior talent and keeping their code relatively even.

Marshall would have been the 14 for QLD until this year, where Cronk would be the 14 and Marshall moves to 5/8.
