You are sulking about the wrong group. It’s not our problem. If they want better pay, they need to pull their fingers out and commit year round, not just for 2 months every 4 years.

I agree.
They want better pay? Go get it.
Maybe learn to play better footy whilst they are at it because despite the over the top gushing commentary, Australia and New Zealand are still flogging these teams. They need full commitment from the players and that seems to be slowly happening but work has to happen behind the scenes as well….from their side of things, not ours.

LOL "They"
As I've kept saying- these guys are all Australian players at the end of the day and the ARL is the one profiting off them. I don't think you understand how any of this is working. This isn't soccer or cricket with dozens of countries involved.
There is 1 country's resources that are being used. The flag or team they play under is irrelevant. This is basically Australian Samoans vs Australian Tongans. Games organised by Australian boards (IRL is basically ARL), sponsored by Australian companies, attended by Australian Samons, Australian Tongans and Australian Lebanese.
You are worrying too much about the flag. They're playing for their heritage which is helping RL in Australia. They're not deflecting to another country. And even if they were, Samoa, Tonga, PNG etc are Australia's best allies. The stronger they are, the better for Australia.
You are wrong on every single level.

Yes they are mostly all Australians but they chose to forego playing for the country that birthed them, schooled them, raised them and turned them into elite sportsmen, to represent countries who they have a heritage connection to through their parents or grandparents. That’s fine, you do you.
Don’t expect us to pay you to represent elsewhere. Piss off and sort your own shit out.
They think they have community support currently as morons like you are out there playing the race card on their behalf. Sooner or later though, this emotion will die down and fake grifters like you will go back to ignoring this situation again and that’s when they will have to do their own work. If they do it, they’ll earn respect. If they don’t, we’ll hear this same boring crap again in 4 years.

Thats fair. They should all just play for Australia and try to make their $40k. International games should just be samoan locals vs Australian players.
Can't wait for the next WC.
Youve got a very backward thinking. Come out in the real world and understand what's happening..

I didnt and have never said that and you know it.
You are scrambling and still making a fool of yourself.
Just admit you hate white people.

So you want them to play for Samoa, make money off it but not pay them?

I don’t really give a shit if I’m honest.
If they can’t get their act together then that’s on them.
They all knew they were playing for Tonga and Samoa at this WC many years ago. Why didn’t they organise this back then? What have they been doing all this time?
They failed to act and now want handouts from the host countries, talking about fairness. I understand their feelings, I don’t understand their inaction.
