Question I have would any players representing Australia have the guts to do what tamalolo has don't to nz?
Or do you think he would be black listed for origin and that's where the dollars are?

I think Nz is the only country who will suffer with these new rules.. I'm all for it but something needs to be done nz doesn't fall too far behind and it comes down to

I dont mind it, at least now we'll have a few teams that are competitive. Would still like to know the reason for them doing it though.

Only if a sponsor comes in and comes up with the money.When Tonga played Samoa mid year a sponsor gave money to Tonga which equated to $500 match payments for the Tongan players. Samoan players got no match payments.

Fatfita has got some balls turning down a GUARANTEED 100% $50k paycheck for winning the world cup as opposed to the $3k he will get for Tonga.

I dont like the guy but I give him respect for doing this.
i swear fafita just posted on instagram yday saying how happy he was to play for Australia
what the hell happened between then and now to change his mind?

anyways i like the big players playing for the smaller countries, makes it way more interesting

It is but the way some of them have gone about it is pretty piss poor. Some of the Tongan players were training with the Kiwis for the past few weeks and only changed their minds in the last few days or just told someone in the last few days. Piss poor.

That awkward moment when you realise Samoa and Tonga have a better squad than Kiwis lol
Toa will go okay, but Tongas team looks strong...if only they had halfback lol. If Hingano steps up they can beat NZ

I heard the Tongan coach on nz radio and he only knew about JT a few days ago.

Let's say they did know about it weeks ago, it makes it even worse. They knew weeks ago and yet still trained in the wider kiwi train on sqaud? Piss poor.

Taumalolo is my favorite non Dogs player, an absolute beast, but the way he has gone about this is piss poor. I'm going to the game and I will be giving him arseholes lmao.
