      Yes and no. Considering they play in Sydney it gives NSW more time. If they played in Brisbane or Melbourne or Adelaide that's more of a pain in the arse to have to get Burton over there, have Moses sit on a plane over there and monitor him etc.
      
      Now Burton has to drive to Homebush as they usually stay at the Pullman, Moses is coming back by coach so easily managed. If he does have stiffness and can play they don't want to be reactionary and playing in Sydney allows them time.
      
      Now on the other hand, you'd rather just have Strange front and centre and just give him the all clear to prepare for Game I.

        I reckon they'll give Moses until gameday to recover. Tight hamstring I've heard which is manageable just can't train.

I think this should be the final year that Moses needs to put his body through another Origin series. I read that he has yet been injured and missed games in every series that he's been in. He started the year injured and couldn't kick goals.

He needs to make a decision in what's best for himself and Parramatta

  That will go down well. Giving up a possible $90k. Just won't happen as long as he is picked.
  
  It will take for the new coach to bring in Katoa at 6 for the future for Moses to not play.

  Honestly Daly is an out and out dope picking him as let's be honest here .in my humble opinion he has not been at his best all year sofar and has played like he has not been 100 percent in all aspects of his game

  We cannot force someone to not play Origin. You can say to Moses we don't want you playing it, but that is on him if he does or not.
  
  It's not a case of why are we letting him play, more so why does he want to keep playing. The answer to that is simple, $30k a game and chance to play Origin.

    Does he still get the $30k if he's out injured?
