Yes, but he moved with his family to Australia as an infant.

lol was a bloke on twitter raising the question about mulitalo ?


How did he know Mulitalo didn’t arrive in QLD until he was 14? Obviously way after his 13 birthday. Total disregard for the rules!

Not as if it is going to matter

Rain is going to help though

It's a beautiful sunny day here in paradise.
Not a cloud to be seen.

Which part of Australia?

Which part of Australia?

Per Wiki:

"Coates was born in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.
As an infant he moved with his family to Australia and initially spent two years living in Cairns before settling on the Gold Coast.
He attended Marymount College throughout his upbringing and began pursuing an athletics career in primary school.
His goal was to represent Papua New Guinea at the Olympics but former NRL player and Marymount teacher Matt Geyer organised a phone call with then-Queensland captain Greg Inglis and the pair convinced Coates to pursue a career in rugby league instead.
Coates named Inglis as his sporting idol growing up and was nicknamed 'Little GI' by his Broncos teammates due to the similarities in playing style."

They should have picked a real Queenslander like Greg Inglis

Pretty soft not allowing Ronaldo.
1 year late for eligibility.

Rough.
Going to be an ugly game I think.

X Coates probably scores the match winner

How dare they enforce rules. Yes it sucks and I’m gutted for him but blame QLD for not doing their due diligence. You know damn well QLD would be giving NSW heaps if it was reversed.

So team list Tuesday one day away followed by games on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday as it should be.
I enjoy Origin but it is too obtrusive and demeans the competition
