Klemmer & Stefano for Origin

[upthetigers]

The rules are different for each state, for NSW you need to have played your first footy game in this great state of NSW.
For Qld you can play from in where on the planet.

What a farce they should have the same eligibility criteria

 

[jrtiger]

He should start at 6.

Freddy will give Luai one game. put the house on it.

 

[KingRobbie]

Do you know if he has chosen a country to rep yet?
If not, which one do you reckon he’ll go with, Oz or NZ?

Not sure if he's chosen yet.

He's lived in Aus for longer so maybe them.

 

[KingRobbie]

I found the eligibility criteria. Being born in Victoria or NZ doesn’t in itself preclude you from playing origin.

Correct, but Pole was born in NZ and then played all his junior footy in Victoria which precludes him.

As of 2012, eligibility rules are the same for both states.

 

[KingRobbie]

Really? He grew up in Mascot

Yep, he would've been eligible but declared for NZ and has already played for them which rules him out.

 

[KingRobbie]

They do as of 2012 according to the NRL site.

They do, just ask QLD.

 

[AL The Tiger]

Hass and Paulo are definites

Tatola
Saifiti Bros
Max King
Pangai Jnr
Klemmer
Possibly 2 out of this lot make it

Pangai Jr, Max King? What on earth

Pangai Jr, Max King? What on earth

Max King has been good this season I'll give him that. However he's injured at the moment so out of contention.

Fonua-Blake is Kiwi.

Not eligible for Origin.

Hasn't played for them for a while though....
Wasn't there a rule where you could change allegiance (For Origin and such) if you hadn't represented
them for 3 years (Or 5 maybe)?

Might’ve been previously, which I think is how the likes of Tonie Carroll were able to play for both the Kiwis and Kangaroos, but didn’t think it was still in effect.

Not 100% sure though.

Reminded me of this

Who else is ahead of them?

No, he's playing this week

Klemmer won't play origin anytime soon given his feud with Freddy. I think Jurbo gets back in time for Origin 1, but Stefano's an outside shout pending any other injuries along with guys like McLean, De Belin and Jacob Saifiti. Martin likely to miss the first game as well by the sounds of things.

8. Trbojevic
9. Koroisau/Cook
10. Haas
11. Murray
12. Matterson/Martin
13. Yeo

14. Hynes
15. Paulo
16. Matterson/Olakau'atu
17. D. Saifiti

It’s an easy fix and looks heaps better, you only need to change one last name.

[InBenjiWeTrust]

With NSW Middles dropping like flies does anyone think Klemmer or Stef might be in at a chance of getting picked?

Please, NO, we need all of our players more than "Mickey Mouse" State of "Origin"!

That’s a weak pack. NSW should be concerned.

 

[Speed2burn]

I actually stef is a big shot if he keeps his form. Youth is on his side
