It’s true though, it’s not his country, it’s his parents heritage.
Back to the debate at hand, yes I’d prefer JL at preseason training asap, for all the positive reasons previously pointed out, but of all the players we have signed I reckon JL will be fine. The other thing is surely we can be professional enough to have everyone else ready, and in tip top shape for his arrival.

His parents heritage is also his heritage.

His parents heritage is also his heritage.

Were you born here?
We all have heritage countries.
Maybe we should scrap the idea of Australia and go represent whatever part of the world our ancestors left behind

 

[Kaito]

They're just playing the two games against England over there brother.

Shit bro just saw that Samoa aren't included. They'll
target him 4 sure, but duty calls I suppose, wutta legend

Yes I was born here but comparing ancestors heritage to your own parents is a bit ridiculous.

Don't listen 2 him. Tucker demands u pledge allegiance
to Australia & nothing else, forget your parents 😁😁

 

[Enmore_Tiger]

It’s not his country.
He is Australian, born and raised.

Maybe technically true or true to your world view, but a keyboard warrior comment by any standard.

 

[Telltails]

There is no international series if the best players don't represent the Pacific Island Nations. If we want the best to players rep our country then Samoa is entitled for all their NRL fans to have their best committ
It's important for the growth of the game that the international game is competitive. It would be nice to have him earlier but knowing a little bit about him it's no surprise he wants to rep his heritage.

 

[Tucker]

No its not. The claim was he has to miss a large amount of pre season training to represent his country. That is false.

Ive never said anything of the sort.

No its just technically true.
Leave the sulking out of it.

It's not.

 

[Tucker]

It's not.

It is and no matter how much you stamp your feet, that doesnt change.

Just like we do every pre-season. 🤣🤣 🤣

I forgot your word & your word only is the truth.

 

[Tucker]

No, the truth is the truth, the facts are the facts.

Redic
Every non abo is from somewhere else? Should The Don have played for the Poms?

 

[innsaneink]

Dylan Napa repped PNG
Nathan Brown will rep Italy
Heighno repped England
May not.be their country im not sure but it's part of their heritage... They're repping their families

 

[innsaneink]

Maybe if he wasn't selected for Oz and his.parent/s were English then depending on.the criteria at the time... Then yeah, if they both wanted to

 

[Buttface]

Dylan Napa repped PNG
Nathan Brown will rep Italy
Heighno repped England

Yeah, he is not repping his country, that is The Land of Oz.
He is repping his family’s heritage.
I got no prob with that, except if it affects the Tigers, and it does a little, but also maybe beneficial to the players overall experience and leadership, so I can wear it.

You're being a bit extreme.
1st generation to be born in Australia I think there's enough flexibility to represent the country your parents originated from.
5th generation then you make a fair point.
Slow day at work mate?
