as much as i think this kid can be great for us on his day, any player that was raised in nsw and picks new zealand over origin has been advised by people knowing he hasn’t got the ability to crack origin.
that’s just my opinion players like goodwin, nightingale, dean farae from penrith
all these player of good enough would not have turned down origin
money is too huge
so dwz is not on the same level as some other wingers
