unsurprisingly i'm not..


keep origin for the aussies and while they are playing origin NZ can play PNG,tonga can play samoa etc....

yes pacific nations . call it the world domination cup

Origin has and always will be for players who declare their Allegiance to Australia.
That is why SBW never played, that is why Stacey Jones was never selected.
That is why Gareth Ellis will never play in SOO either.

Orgin football will be runied as a feature event if we allowed other nations to play for NSW or QLD.

The international rules that allow players to play for a development nation and then play for either Australia or NZ are the biggest losers.
The NZ team is really a Pacific Island team full of Samoan's, Cook Islanders and Tongans.
International rugby league is the joke.

There is nothing better than seeing Poms and Kiwi's talk about what Origin SHOULD be!




Just go away!

Mcmanus was born and originally brought up in Scotland. His teen years were spent in Darwin.

And you guys see nothing wrong with him turning Scotland down in order to play for NSW?

International rugby league is not a joke. Origin is a joke.

McManus in no way originated from NSW. It's marketing nonsense.

I remember when one of the jokers on here said Willie Tonga shouldnt be allowed to play for Queensland because...obviouslly, he in Tongan!

Yeah, and you still have nothing to say about Origin hampering the development of the Scotland national team.

mcmanus is an immigrant to this country, who has a choice between representing scotland or australia, he has obviously chosen australia as he has every right to. he has made his decision, as long as he sticks to it there is no problem.

as for him representing nsw, yes it is a bit of a joke, but there are limited options. this will be an even bigger issue when victorian raised players start making it into the nrl. what happens when the next israel folau is a storm junior and has never played in another state? victoria v western australia origin should be played before nsw v qld.

WA V Vic would be an interesting game.

WA would be made up of 3-4 NRL players (Patterson, Te Marri, Holdsworth) + another 3 or 4 NRL reserve/under 20's plus best of our Reds

Vic would be ?1 NRl player + The Storm's Vic Toyota Cup players (?5) plus the best of the VRL.

i think we would probably win but would be an interesting contest.

please without all the aussies padding ireland, scotland in the last WC theyd not have been there

what do you want . for origin to stop
