OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

What is the pacific generating exactly? Aren't most of the polynesian players from Tonga and Samoa either born and/or largely raised in Australia or NZ, and therefore a product of Australian and Kiwi RL systems? A quick Google search says that only 3 Samoan and 1 Tongan player were born in their respective countries and emigrated as young children.

If they want to be paid more, they need to lobby their local RLF's. It's not the ARLC's/NRL's/NZRL's responsibility to bankroll pacific nations RL, especially when the players aren't local Samoan/Tongan products. Samoa and Tonga are already benefitting from Australian and NZ investment through development.
I’ve been saying this for years.
These buggers were raised here instead of their poor countries, developed here in the worlds best systems, paid many many times more than those from their Poly countries, benefit from the SOO arena, including the fat bonus cheques and then have the hide to whinge and whine.
The people they represent have far more integrity despite these posers crying during the anthem of a country they’ve never even lived in.
