Seems like the Ausies are at it again, trying to convince Akuila Uate to switch allegiance from Fiji to Australia.
Once again they're dangling the State of Origin carrot to entice him with a wing berth for the NSW blues paving the way to a green n gold jumper.
Do the Ausies not see the damage they are doing to the smaller aspirational nations who have shown potential and appetite to become strong Rugby League countries.

| Civonaceva has lived in Australia for the vast majority of his life and has never played for Fiji. Oh, and that story is almost a year old.  |

the players you mentioned are australian. there is absolutely nothing wrong with them progressing through the ranks and playing for their state and australia.
uate, on the other hand is not. he should never be allowed to play origin or the australia, but he has spoken openly about switching allegiance and will do so next year. our incompetent international admin will allow him to do so which further damages the international game. |

FFS get your hand off while there is till some skin left.
SoO is about STATE of origin and nothing else. International RL is about whichever national team/s a players is eligible for. It was a disgraceful act, given the grandparent rule exists, to require a player to give up a right he has under international RL rules to play for another country in order to play SoO. This is White Australia 1950s-style thinking. Are you happy with that? |

before i even bother replying to your post, explain how the only players allowed to play for a state of australia also have to be eligible for australia has anything to do with the white australia policy, or even their skin colour or racial background? |

Patero Civoniciva moved to Aus before his 1st birthday, Hanyne was actually born in Aus as weas Sutton who only qaulifies for Fiji due to his mother. Not really seeing your point on those guys.
However I do think they should scrap the rule whereby you have to give up representing your country and swtich allegiance so you can play origin. Origin is bigger than International so obviously your going to give up playing for Fiji, Tonga etc to play origin. |

Read before you post mate, at no point have a mentioned England or English players. All I said was that as a game Origin is bigger than internationals, and those guys from Tonga, Somoa etc who could have the chance to play origin would more than likely give up representing their homeland so they could play origin. Hence why I said origin is bigger. |
