Not disagreeing per se but Fasavalu hadn't played RL until he moved to England.. that seemed to be an argument on here
And Widdop grew up playing RL here and was in a pro teams scholarship before moving to Aus, I wouldn't say he was completely developed in Aus.
Heighington, Chase and Fasavalu are the contentious ones however dress it up how you like, only Chase is contentious compared to the poaching that has been going on for years by you boys. Reed is English and Heighington is dual nationality, both have never played for another country, certainly not questionable by anyones rules.

Back on topic it almost seems like discrimination! The islanders definately need to pick up more fixtures and more funding opportunities starting with this year! England should go on tour with a series against NZ to finish!

I get the feeling NSW and QLD are trying to push a few through quickly in case NZ SOO is a success.

hardly a $, rumoured to be $50k agame next season, that's $150k a year extra, $150k or occasional tests for NZ for $5k a game?

Don't understand what all the fuss is about didn't all the countries in the southern hemisphere join together last year to become The Great Kingdom of Exilia?

yeah but they don't won't get $50k a game.......after taxes,loyalty fund payments,paying for family members to see the game,hotel,travel etc.... they'll be lucky to see $10k

Rubbish even this game he will walk away with $20k in his pocket, by next year it will be close to double that. Then add the value of his next contract as soo players can command bigger contracts. Reality is in the modern game majority of it is about cold hard cash.
