Any origin player can be rested in the round after origin though.. middle players probably more likely to get a rest. As long as Grant is fit, then Grant will be the 9.
Looking at that, in round 16 we have:
Thursday: Roosters vs Storm (4 day turn around after origin 2)
Friday: Warriors vs Dragons (5 day turn around)
Friday: Panthers vs Eels (5 day turn around).
Goooood chance some origin players get rested for that Thursday game.
Unsure why the NRL would schedule a Storm vs Roosters game 4 days after the standalone origin?
Broncos matches are surprisingly pretty favourable for Haas backing up.
This is why I'm looking at Taukeiaho in the short term. Should have some decent points with Roosters carrying injuries + origin and make back some of that lost cash
I also expect Turbo will be rested when Manly has the chance
