OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

I didn't think I needed to make an exception for 3 players out of 46. The way Leniu was bitching about match payments I'd wager he would ditch Samoa to play for Australia given the chance. Batman is a mercenary so I wouldn't put it past him either.

Allowing internationals to be eligible for Origin now makes a farce of SOO and international representative duty as well.
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).

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.
