Rabbits brace for record Origin contingent
Pace-setters South Sydney are facing the prospect of losing a club-record six players to State of Origin duty as they battle to maintain their flying start to the NRL season.
With Dane Gagai, Damien Cook and Cameron Murray considered certainties for their respective states, Cody Walker and Adam Reynolds shaping as probables for NSW and Campbell Graham a possible bolter, they look set to have their depth stretched.
Souths last year lost four players to Origin duty - the equal most in the club's history - and skipper Sam Burgess said their wins on the board and depth had them well placed to negotiate the taxing representative period.
