Well you do when you said you guarantee.
Tongan, Samoan and Fiji reps etc have always been eligible for Origin (if they met the resident before 13 rule).

He never used to be that bad
he stood in as fb a few times , then went up for the highest bidder ,actually wanted him here playing fb b4 we wasted that money on Bula
Yeah OK you got me on semantics then. Leniu wasn't being picked, and he was the one who made the most noise about it.
On the pacific reps playing origin, I thought they quashed that for a bit when they said they were endorsed as tier 1 nations by the RLF? Obviously that never happened.
EDIT: Had a look, it was in regard to nation hopping, not Origin.

My respect for Jahrome Hughes grew after they changed the rules. He said the only reason he would play would be for money, and he didn’t wanna do that. That’s a guy you can believe really does have pride in the jersey. Unlike performative twats like AFB who just saw $$$ signs the moment they relaxed the rule.
This has been responded to 100 times. Either way, Hughes was not eligible for Origin, even under the new rules. No different to someone like Herbie.
Call it semantics if you want. It did make me laugh as your posts made me think of the Life of Brian’s scene “What have the Romans done for us?”
“Guarantee if picked for Australia they’d forget about their heritage”
What about Haumole?
“All right, apart from Haumole, Crichton, Hammer, Toia, highly paid players at their club, players who made Origin, , sanitation and roads, I guarantee if picked for Australia they’d forget about their heritage”

You've made your point. In future I'll ensure every post resembles a legal document and make sure all caveats are stated in advance to prevent any interactions like this in future. Sincerest apologies, I hope you get past this inconvenience.

After being pumped by Australia, suggesting the referee was taking bribes and that the players were underpaid (suggesting its australias fault) - that the Samoan Government allegedly put $4million toward the world cup.
But wait, there's more.
Apparently the ARL covered all the players flights, meals and accommodation!!!
So where'd that $4million go?
The irony isnt lost on me that the anger from a select few Samoan players seem to be directed at the ARL and "whites"... and it looks like they have probably been ripped off by their own 😂😂
