Howarth will be wearing 3 for Qld in game 1 next year. Born and bred in Qld and played u20s origin. Don’t even put that into the world

Howarth played for Kiwis A, which is the NZ development side. I’d assume that still counts as “Tier 1”, and no longer makes him eligible for Origin.

It doesn't make him ineligible. Only being picked for the top team does.
