Well the RLIF have opened the door but I salute Fafita and Tualomolo (sp?) for putting the heritage before the dollars they'd have got at the world cup.
Quite possible Fafita is sticking two fingers up at the Aussie RL establishment but after being dragged through the coals by the moral guardians of the game, missing out on selection last year and the Clive Churchill medal he maybe has justification for having the hump?
I think players choosing Tonga, Samoa or whoever over the established teams such as NZ and Australia can only give the World Cup more credibility and a higher profile, as it will lead to more competitive games and not have massive blow out scores, which the anti RL media will be quick to pick up on.
