| Quote: BrisbaneRhino "Definitely has to be dropped from Origin IMO. The players need to be sent a message that defecting is not on. Personally, I agree with the idea of a life ban from rep teams for those who leave the code. That way if Folau, Hunt and co come back they can suffer from not being as high profile as when they leave. It's not that big a punishment, but some kind of message that RL can't be treated as 3rd choice and be expected to welcome people back with open arms needs to get out.
'"
Have you actually ever listened to yourself?
Maybe you would like to lynch them for daring to leave the NRL as well... we all need to strive to keep the NRL pure after all.
I suggest you organise a trial on the banks of the Brisbane river where a group of people like yourself tie Folau and Hunt up and cast them forth into the depths. If they float they are clearly the spawn of satan and must be immediately sent to the AFL. If they sink they are innocent and should immediately be allowed to play Origin footy again... but then be executed after game 3 for daring to try and leave the code. |

The problem is the lack of depth in the NRL - especially in NSW.
When Tahu - who is no world beater - can return from RU straight into Origin it suggests the sport has issues.
If Gasnier returned he would be straight back into Origin!!
How is it these guys can leave the sport and still get straight into the game's highest expression - where is the development of players? Look at the NSW half back pairing, a 35 year old scrum half and Centre playing stand off? |

Maybe, they were targeted by rugby union because they were the best. If Kimmorley is the best scrum half in NSW then that's it and his age shouldn't be an issue.

Probelm is he is seen as that and he isn't very good! Alongside his age it does beg the question what is wrong with player development in NSW? Q'land have Thurston, Prince and Cronk who are all light years ahead of anything NSW has.
I suggest they have a look at the ARU as their best bet of uncovering the next Ricky Stuart |

Maybe I'm biased as my experience of NSW was Sydney, the Blue Mountains, the beautiful beaches.
My experience of Queensland was Bundaberg.

There is a lot more to Queensland than Bundy.
Mullets, XXXX Gold and Cane toad golf for example. |

Who are they? next origin will have 2 ex RU players playing in it.
Get real there are some very serious issues in NSW - they are producing a host of SL standard players - no wonder Queensland kick their Ass every year
Mitchell Pearce - he is a very average player who would not get anywhere near the Queensland side, Peter Wallace, bring Brett Finch back - I know how much you rate him, Tim Smith, another of your favourites, Jamie Soward, another the list of top quality NSW halves just keeps rolling of the keyboard |
