I always thought he was a kiwi and proud of it.
Mind u it’s not australia they want to play for it’s Qld /NSW.
Having a couple of nephews who have come through the Qld junior rep teams i can understand how it lures them in.
The whole origin concept is outdated really- time to switch the focus to internationals.

Its the cash they get for playing Origin that is the attraction.
For guys like Aussie Jim and Qlder Mulitalo.

NSW will smash QLD tonight.

We all know it, even banana benders know it.

One sided Origin clashes works only if it fits with the QLD under dog narrative the whole bollocks is built on.

As a Kiwi I see it for what it is, a rep side clash which helps select the top team that Tonga and the Kiwis are going to bash with increasing frequency.

It is all bull****.

The game was brilliant and the toughest once upon a time....that ended in the year it became a one sided bloated Aussie twang and drawl Phil Gould Orrrrriiiin nonsense.

Cannot wait for the next international to see this **** brought down to where it lives in the real world.

Your right origin is a cash cow, no longer the pinnacle of the game.
Internationals should be marketed as the pinnacle and we may actually see some growth in the sport.
Game 1 was the first origin game I have watched since 2013, and that was because it was on free to air TV in nz.
Samoa v Tonga have more passion when they played even before the stars started defecting to Tonga.
These games are just a Queensland and NSW invitationals now

Gotta give it to the Aussies, no one does self promoting wankery bigger than the South Pacific Yanks.

Whats everyone's prediction tonight?

30+ to the mighty NSW blues? Can't see the qld maroons winning a game this series even if they held all the games there. Itll be a shellacking. Qld might as well officially expand their borders to include NZ, USA, Samoa so they can players like Ronaldo been given the all clear to play for them.

Kiwis be throwing shade like the whole Nathan Fien grannygate never happened 😂

---

Mate Tony Carrol was worse....even played for SLand.

Fiens great grandmother knew a Kiwi who lived next door.

I think you will find Kiwis are not precious about stuff like that, Laughable mate.

Thing is with Kiwis is that if a ball is bowled along the ground...other Kiwis would call you a stink **** and tell you to shove your cricket set up your arse and never play you again.

Culture.

The thing I never got about that was that it was Nathan fein! I mean maybe u bend the rules for Joey johns or someone but we could’ve just gave the spot to lance hohaia- what’s the difference.
(Mind u he did score the try to win the Tri Series in Brisbane that time and I was there and it was farken awesome so maybe it wasn’t such a bad idea 🤔)
But I digress… why Ronaldo? Is he really that much better than Coates? If at all.

They'd be paying $1.01 wouldn't they??

Waaaaay too risky to be betting on an origin game when NRL will desperately want a decider.

---

True. All you need is the ref to bin a couple of NSW players and we have a game to watch...

It would be so true to form for NSW to smack Qld in game one, lose in a tight one in game two, then collapse in game three.

While NSW have their own reasons for raising the eligibility ruling, the decision has saved the NZ national team.

While we will always have passionate ones like DWZ wanting to represent NZ without question, we are struggling enough to field a national squad as it is with the number of defections we've had in recent years. If this wasn't enforced you'd pretty much have most 13, 14 or 15 year olds plucked out of the NZ systems by NRL scouts and whichever club you land with would determine whether you were with NSW or QLD. That's not real representation of your state.

I'm disappointed for Mulitalo, but glad sanity has prevailed.
