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).

Critta turned crap once he left the Riff, turned into a grub also

He never used to be that bad

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 ot 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”
