No. Call Marika back. Continuity is too important to squander for the sake of his 'family'. What would his kids rather: a present father figure or back-to-back wins against Argentina in the Rugby Championship? It's a no brainer.

I hope Kerevi is still around for the end of year tour otherwise we have a problem at 12 again. He is a massive part of our game plan now and has made a big difference and we don't really have a similar option. Maybe just chuck Koribete in at 12 to get over the gain line!
He's going home to meet his newborn baby.
Children don't form lasting memories that early so it's a complete waste of time. He can just tell the kid when they're older that he did come home.
I think this will be more or less the team. Seems odd to suggest resting players before a decent break. Wouldn't mind seeing Pete Samu getting some time at 6, he has earnt it after not putting a foot wrong off the pine. Also suspect Wright will be 23 as he covers back 3. Paisami only really 12-13 which JOC (James O'Connor) covers adequately

Wouldn't be surprised to see Slipper get a rest. Koroibete is out. I'd expect JOC (James O'Connor) to start also.
JOC (James O'Connor) at loose head prop is a massive call

He looks thinner after his rest not bigger... although Im sure a KFC off season sponsorship could get him in prop shape..

They stayed in Kingscliff overnight, trying to get permission to return, team captain Julian Montoya is one of those.

They have a big enough squad to hopefully cover if they can’t get back hopefully.

Wow. How to test a govt already under pressure for favouring sportsmen. This may not end well.

I just don’t think that is how is being looked at. From what I’ve heard from Rennie, if they are going to rest or rotate out one of these starters then Samu would be behind guys like Wilson, Swinton & McReight. But as a bench player his utility value and his style of play makes him ideal. The other three are either starters or out of the 23. Not sure where McMahon fits in that.
