The Daily Telegraph’s sports editor-at-large Phil Rothfield has suggested a State of Origin rules revamp that would allow New Zealand Test stars who grew up in Australia and played their junior rugby league in NSW and Queensland to be made available for the Blues and Maroons.

The concept has created plenty of debate, with readers arguing strongly for and against the idea.

Reader Michael was against the idea. “Defeats the whole idea of SOO if it comes to selecting imported players what is the point, if not enough home grown NSW and Queensland players to make the series worthwhile might as well forget about,” he said.

David argued that “NSW has the biggest player pool, yet they want to bring in Kiwi Test footballers. What a slap down to other NSW players.”

Mark said: “Everyone associated with Origin is always talking about passion. How much passion will a bunch of Kiwis show for a jersey they don’t give two hoots about?”

Another reader, Phil, said: “We already have players that were born in other states playing SOO, ie GI. Either tighten the rules to stop these anomalies or open it up.”
