Geez they really did their homework didn't theyInside the NRL x Red Bull partnership: Fueling the future of the National Rugby League

He grew up in the Cooks and his Dad was heavily involved in the team, plus he would be a fringe Kiwi at best, so it's not hugely surprising.
I wouldn't say fringe. He was one of the best center before he got injured. He wouldve definitely had a chance to start in that kiwis team

Yup I noticed that too. Especially after the media said he was playing in the ashes. Which also gives me hope Tino might play for SamoaDolphins website states Hamiso has been ruled out of the 'Pacific Championships', which pretty much confirms he was going to defect (back) to Samoa.
Injury Update: Tabuai-Fidow to miss Pacific Champsionships
Dolphins Fullback Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow has been ruled out of the upcoming Pacific Championships after suffering a grade-three MCL tear in Sunday's game against the Raiders.
His choice at the end of the day but I really hope that samoa never approach him again let alone pick him if he has a change of heart come being overlooked by the kangaroos due to age, lack of form or better players to pick from etc.
Bugger that. He is entitled to choose which ever he wants without external BS.
Kangaroos get $3000 per non world cup match as of last Pacific test series. They are the lowest paid of our elite national teams (Kangaroos, Wallabies, Socceroos, Cricket). Not sure what Samoan players get paid.
he is indeed and so are the Samoan selectors who should send him packing if/when he comes a calling full of Samoan pride all over again.
How does he choose if he’s Australian or Samoan?
It’s this chopping and changing national loyalty at the drop of a hat that makes international RL a laughing stock……..oops there I go again sticking my nose in on a internet fans forum board.
