Oh my bad, of course it comes under the NRL's Special Teams rule, like the Rorters using 2 players outside their top 30 despite having top 30 players in those positions playing in their CC side.
Bunnies named 23 for the game following Origin 1. They likely had a special consideration due to origin and injuries. Back then, they were unable to name 21 players from their top 30, so they had to name guys who would've played origin 2 days earlier and a bunch of development/reserve grade players.
