Tamou is the only player in Origin 1 not born in Australia as far as I can tell and his family moved to Australia when he was 12 or 13. NZ have never had a problem selecting Australian born and bred players like Pritchard, Fien and Goodwin (whose father actually played for NSW and Australia) though

Also if you are going to use the argument of where they grew up and learnt the game, Foran and Nightingale should be playing for Australia seeing as though they spent the vast majority of their youth in Australia. Or is that an argument used only for you to justify NZ selecting Pacific Islanders

Maybe not this series but papalii chunt teo Carroll thorn etc over the years (geez guess which state is common denominator there) have taken advantage of the bigger pay packet influencing their allegiance

You have multiple Kiwis still playing Origin. 1 who moved over there to take up a footy contract. Pot, kettle, black...again.

Who is the player who moved here for a contract? As far as I can tell the only player that fits that criteria is Ben teo.

It's going to be f**king hilarious watching NSW fail again. With dud selections like Hodkinson, Hopoate and Klemmer derping it up, Queensland just have to show up to win.

Had it with Canberra fans. Biggest bunch of bitches on here. They offer no arguments just continual bitching and moan about why certain players were chosen over there own. f**k off, seriously, no one wants you on here.

Klemmer deserves his spot, Hopoate hasn't put a foot wrong for NSW in the past and Hodkinson won us the series last year,

Go and rewatch game 2 last year, you were nowhere near that number. Your rabble of a state wont back your pathetic football team and for good reason.

:lol: Oh your bitterness is so delicious, you poor simple f**ktard.

One of the greatest Origin atmospheres of all time in game 2 last year, and your softcock state was too busy weeping to sell out your little stadium in game 3 last year.
