SAMOA v TONGA *SPOILERS

[pHyR3]

The NRL should consider salary cap exemptions for players injured in representative games.

nah…

even if we had one what would that do? theres no one out there for us to buy at such short notice. hell be back soon hopefully

I didn't mean in relation to the Simona incident in isolation. I mean that if a player misses 3 months because of an injury in a rep game it would be taken into account if it put pressure on a team's 2nd tier salary cap later in the year.

still not really the biggest fan, no one has brought that up in 30 years of origin games. just cause international footy (especially pacific tests and the like) aren't as big as origin yet doesn't mean we should be getting salary cap exemptions and whatnot.

not too different from an injury at non contact training, preseason, 9s or an NRL game. also adds some unneeded complexity and waste of resources for not a heap of gain.

With something like half of all league juniors in sydney being of islander background these days, in 10 years time these countries could well have the teams capable of beating the aussies and kiwis on a regular basis. Say no to a multi-country national team.

dunno how many watched these games but samoa had us kiwis absolutely destroyed with like 10 or 15 to go.

i think it was some johnson or RTS brilliance that got us home with a couple of late tries.

they did the same thing with england too and narrowly lost, felt pretty bad for them. they deserved at least 1 win out of those 2 games. were the better team in both matches easily

so that day isn't far away where they beat the big 3 on a regular basis.

I'd prefer to see a Pacific nations Test Side

They would test everyone in my opinion

I reckon they would lack a decent halves pairing to take it to Australia and NZ at full strength.

They would probably be level with England though

Looks like a syndesmosis injury. My guess is he will be out for at least 4 weeks. Hope i'm wrong.
