They may not be household NRL names but they will be well prepared. How they cope with hull in October is another matter! The png hooker is a very talented player.'"
Aiton? He's good but there are a few better in SL I reckon. |

| Quote: jonny the leyther "Sorry to disagree with everyone, but I really don't see what PNG have got that makes them so strong.
Samoa & Tonga look stronger to me, I think Fiji and Scotland are short in the forwards, Ireland and Wales are short in the backs.
I think Italy and France will be decent, but France's success might depend on if Dureau plays for them or not.'"
Whilst I agree it's not the best, Fiji's pack shouldn't be underestimated if at full strength.
Ashton, Tariq, Korbin (Sims), Civoneceva, Bukuya, Naiyorovoro, Evans, Roqica, Koroisau. |

It's a great rotation though, Aiton and Segeyaro should compliment each other well. If there's one position PNG won't struggle in, it's hooker. Ray Thompson isn't that bad either, though he may well be in the halves. |

| Quote: gutterfax "Nope...I am saying that countries such as Ireland, Scotland, Italy, Serbia, wales (to a certain extent) need to play more of these regular games against each other....and the players who turn out in these games should be rewarded by retaining their places and not having them nicked by Australian or English born players not good enough for their country of birth, but who's mother once drank a Pint of Guinness.
rlLUKE DOUGLASrlis no more Scottish than I am....he doesn't ply his trade there and he actually has a sibling who plays for Australia. I am not sure if he has ever actually been to Scotland, yet he will pull on their colours this year ![]()
You are wrong.
Matty Russell was born in Scotland, as was James McManus.
You do know there are rules on eligibility don't you? The rule isn't if you've been to the country or not.
It's not that uncommon for people from places like the north of England, which is very, very close to Scotland, to have parent or Grandparent from there, the same goes for Australia with the amout of people moving to the country within the last two generations.
But that doesn't fit your argument, which JB is owning you in by the way.

| Quote: JB Down Under "Still no word on who Hayne will turn out for. I am guessing Uate will be in Australias squad. Petro is def turning out for Fiji.
Hayne will be in the Kangaroo squad as he can play anywhere from Stand off to Fullback, he is consistently one of NSW best players.
I doubt Uate will make the cut, he has not done enough for NSW never mind the Test squad.

But do you understand how this merrygo round of players for the lower level countries every World Cup can hinder genuine player development in those countries?
That is the point he is making |

He's made lots of different points, but saying none of the Scotland squad are born in Scotland is wrong.
And yes, I do understand the point.

So you are ok for short term gratification to damage long term development? |

Not really a list.
List implies plurality.
