Wighton has been rubbish all year. Walker is one of the form halves of the competition. He’s only had once chance in origin. I think he deserved another. He’s clearly the better 5/8 at this point in time, IMO.On ability just as good, plus Wighton is proven at Origin level (shown that ability to step up) and has trained with the team throughout the series.
Walker would only be picked alongside Reynolds as a club combo, and on previous origin appearances neither of those two set the world alight. Fittler has done the right thing picking Wighton.
