| It's all about money motivation, not national pride and giving something back to the sport that made you....so typical...

| Quote Dropkick Murphy="Dropkick Murphy"They want the extra money to make it worth their while turning up. Internationals are way down the priority list in Australian RL, from both players and fans. See the stadium not being sold out to watch their own team play in the World Cup Final, and then the majority of the crowd who did go leaving before they had lifted the trophy as the clearest example you'll ever get. They aren't interested.'"
Oh yeah because 5 grand and representing your country isn't enough, right?

Are these the 'Aussies' who were born in Tonga, signed youth forms for NRL clubs to obtain Ocker nationality, won a cap for Oz or played the odd State of Origin before being discarded by the Aussie representative sides for younger Tongans? Rinse and repeat.

| They should take a leaf out of the England association football team who, for years have donated any match fees that they receive to charity as it’s an honour to play for ones country

| Yeah big sacrifice, easy to do when you’re paid £150000 a week anyway.

Well no, which is exactly my point. They couldn't care less about playing internationals. State of Origin is the one that matters there, then the bread and butter of the NRL. That's it.

Well considering the £2k match appearance fee England football players get offered is like offering Joe Public 10p then it’s not really that much of a gesture.

Look at the names of the players.
It’s hardly good old John Smith, ninth generation white Australian, is it?
They are either Tongans or mostly first generation New Zealand or Australia citizens to two Tongan parents.

Glad you think donating £2k to charity isn’t much of a gesture. Before you even try and justify yourself, don’t even bother

It isn’t the big gesture you make out. Given they earn sums of £50-100k or higher a week and sponsorship deals on top on that then £2k isn’t really any different to Joe Public donation £10 to charity.
Likelihood is you didn’t know just how little the appearance fee was by their earning standards before trying to put them on some pedestal.

Should the King really need to plea to include his country in International Rugby League?
For years we have been crying out for another country to become competitive with the 3 tier one nations. It’s outrageous that 1 year on from Tonga’s unbelievable World Cup display, they haven’t managed to arrange a fixture with one of the tier one nations.
