ARL Commission chairman Peter V’landys is entertaining an overhaul of the Origin eligibility rules to cater for players like Taumalolo.

Have another comp with a Barbarians team type concept.

Leave NSW V QLD alone.

If they change the rules to let anyone play origin it'll kill it. Origin isn't the best Vs the best it's a grudge match built on passion and hatred.

lol at all you triggered fukn roaches I will just point that JT played all of his junior football in QLD and was QLD Schoolboy rep player. he was always eligible to play for QLD .He is an Australian and A QUEENSLANDER him choosing to represent his parents country of origin at international level should never have precluded him from playing origin . looking forward to seeing him in a maroon jersey next year. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[wendog33]

Whats your thoughts on Kangaroo selection via SOO tho?

SBW played for NSW too ...but...any grey areas ya reckon if they want to play for Dad's country and not Oz after SOO?

SOO not going to be selection game for Australia?

 

[Phalangist]

it was a joke and why they changed the rules in the first place. mcmanus, uate and tamou should never have played

did it ruin the game?

 

[Shanked]

but that’s the point it shouldn’t be anyone can play origin just players raised in the country that still would like to play for the kiwis because
1. They were either born in New Zealand
Or
2. It’s there heritage

This is 100% percent correct.

he chose to represent New Zealand but he was always eligible for Queensland..

To say well he picked nz bad luck is stupid and is the reason why the kiwis will always struggle to be better then Australia

This, plus he looks like a Queenslander and would look fucking fantastic in a maroon jersey.

SBW Junior reps same as JT for Qld.

"He advanced up the ranks quickly: becoming a starting player in the forward pack for the Bulldogs' Jersey Flegg Cup side in his first year. The following year Williams cemented a starting spot in the Premier League side.[14] He also represented NSW as a junior.

ruin? no, took shine off? yes

I reckon it may have been losing eight straight that took the shine off for you blokes

No not really wendog if they emigrated as children or are first generation Australian what’s the harm in letting them play for their country of origin at international level, it will strengthen the game internationally . I also think that a lot of these players will be more likely to want to play in an Australian jersey after they have played in an origin series.

Thats my only concern.

If they play SOO, kinda think they should be available for Kangaroos.

They will be if they choose to be and if they don’t then what’s the downside of having a stronger international competition

For exactly the reasons we are talking about in this thread, I don’t understand your point.

Point is he doesn't have the passion. If he plays it's for the money as a mercenary.
