Starting his NRL career on the wing, there's no reason why the 23-year-old can't be blooded alongside Trbojevic out wide or vice versa if Fittler opts to go with both over Crichton, who would be an unfortunate player to miss out.didn't feature for Fittler and the Blues last season due to form, and for many that selection call came as the most talked about all series.
Addo-Carr went on to help the Kangaroos clinch the World Cup title with his form too hard to ignore. Like Tupou, he is in serious doubt to get back in time for Origin I but is a big option moving forward for Fittler to recall. Fittler's reasoning around Addo-Carr's defence and muscle through the middle was fair at the time given what the Foxx had done previously at that level.with the winger-turned-centre's ability in the air one that could really trouble Queensland.
Suaali'i's pending departure to Australian rugby in 2025 should do his chances no harm of future Origin selection but you get the feeling, especially for Origin I, that Fittler may stick solid and go with experience over youth with plenty of options available.
