Warriors star Addin Fonua-Blake wants to represent NSW if the Origin selection rules are changed and says he would have thought more carefully about playing for New Zealand if he had known it would rule him out of Blues contention.
Fonua-Blake was born in Australia and played juniors for Sydney club Mascot Jets but is currently ineligible for NSW as he represented the Junior Kiwis as a teenager in 2014 and was a member of New Zealand’s 2017 World Cup squad before switching his allegiances to Tonga.
With Tonga superstar Jason Taumalolo sparking debate over Origin eligibility after formally seeking to play for Queensland if the selection criteria are changed, Fonua-Blake said he wants to play for the Blues.
