clubs? :?

players coming from the country are in contention

eh and i cant pick a lineup... could be anything imo

 

[Alehana]

wait so i thought state of origon was the first club u played for, and if u played for melbourne or nz you'd nominate where u felt ur heart lay. is that right?

 

[Timmah]

First place you played senior football over 16 years.

Anyone who played their first league in the CRL,be it from Western NSW, Illawarra RL, Central Coast, Newcastle RL, Northern Rivers... will be in line for Country.

Anyone who played their first senior game in the Sydney Metropolitan area is eligible for City. That includes St George, Cronulla, Eastern Suburbs, Western Suburbs, Canterbury-Bankstown etc...

State of Origin is based on the same premise but at a state level, Victorians and New Zealanders (generally) aren't eligible.

 

[Chook Norris]

Timmah, considering your from Central Coast shouldn't you be supporting Country?

 

[Alehana]

k, so israel folou must have played his first game in queensland for a feeder club and thats why he went to QLD, did he also play in NSW for a bit.

Timmah, considering your from Central Coast shouldn't you be supporting Country?

I have my reasons for supporting City, related partly to family, partly to the club I support and also the fact that the Central Coast is kind of borderline. We have teams in both the JB (formerly Metro) Cup and Newcastle RL if I recall correctly. Always have supported City from memory.

Until the last year (possibly still going, correct me if I'm wrong), a large chunk of Melbourne's players came through the Qld Cup through the Norths Devils club who are/were the Storm's feeder.

They now have the Central Coast Storm in NSW Cup and further Juniors grades for the Central Coast as well... a large talent pool to pick from. But you'll find many Storm players got their starts up in the Banana state.

R U sending an SMS whn u type ???

hahah, mmm, imo, i dnt thnk i am, btw i cld b wrong

nah i'm just v lazy
