Those are tucked away in the back cupboard. Smelly too

You are supposed to stick your feet into them.

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.

What is with this division he is creating about "white modern day media"...

These blokes get paid as much as the white blokes in the nrl.

He is paid bloody well.

Lachy galvin is white and was a far bigger headline..

Fmd the victim mentality

It’s a racist rant everyday of the week.
He is claiming white people hold the pacific back.
Entitled, thankless, spoiled brat who has been able to achieve everything he has because of the communities he now points the finger at.
I’d love to meet this clown in person. He’ll be picking teeth out of his shit for days….

Wasn't it all about representing their heritage? Guarantee if they were picked for Australia they'd forget about heritage when someone is waving $40k a game under their snouts.

The problem is, it feeds his pacifica followers and some ppl latch onto the "we are the victims".. when the bloke is one of the highest paid nrl players. Its disappointing.

Maybe having seen what the Australian Govt/NRL has done for PNG and want something similar across the Pacific.
Luai has been quick to put his hand up bug don’t like his racist undertones about “ white media”,unecessary imo.
And isn’t his new PNG GM à product of that very same media.

Didn’t the Fainu’s just apply for Fiji and Tonga? AFB was sobbing during the anthem, yet was the first to throw his hand up for Origin when they relaxed the eligibility rules. It’s all performative. Just like the praying they all do at the end of games in the middle of the field

 

[Merlot]

Cashed up guy - basically the richest in the game playing for the deep love for his heritage calling out "the white media" slaps of hypocrisy n greed
He needs to voice it thru the proper channels ,or gather the brother/sister hood take a knee and boycott until demands are made.
His own country IRL affiliation holds the purse strings

Some would have been picked for Australia if they elected to represent us.

PNG is geopolitical, especially after the Solomon Islands buddied up with China.

that probably explains why luai chose the Grandparent limelight

Haumole, Crichton and Hammer would be the only ones that would be in contention for selection. And if they're not the highest paid players at their respective clubs, they're top 3 at worst so they aren't hanging out for Kangaroo money, especially when they played origin this year.

Didn’t see that caveat in your originally post. Toia a certainty if available, potentially Jojo
