    Kiwi league halfback Jahrome Hughes hopes mercenaries don't take advantage of State of Origin's new eligibility rules

    Kiwi league halfback Jahrome Hughes hopes mercenaries don't take advantage of State of Origin's new eligibility rules

    - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

    Players from top tier nations England and New Zealand can now play Origin IF they qualify through Australian birth or upbringing.

    Hughes himself has no intention of appearing for Queensland...and hopes others will bypass the 30 thousand dollar match fees if their hearts aren't in the contest.
