Feleti is an interesting selection.

He could be a bit of an x- factor in the Blues teams. I would like to see him on the bench for the blues.

Congrats to the young man

So Feleti must have made himself available for NSW selection, I read if he did that he'd have to give up being eligible for Tonga.

He's been solid for us this year and last year

Is he eligible for Origin, or is he a Kiwi? I think it`s Origin - in which case the silly bugger should have made himself available for Kiwi international selection instead.

Oh, it`s Tonga, is it? I thought he was a bloody Kiwi.

 

[Pazza]

He is half english, half tongan!

Eels Dude has the right of it...he was last eligible for Tonga and needed to put in writing a notice that he would be making himself eligible for NSW (and thus CvC) selection. Which apparently he has.

He also qualifies for English selection via his mother (I think) and New Zealand via residency. All that said, his form has been pretty ordinary in the last few weeks.

He wouldn't be eligible for NZ via residency yet. The residency rule is 3 years isn't it? Mateo has only been in NZ for around 18 months.

I'm pretty sure the Daily Tele article said it was 2 years..which would make him eligible at the end of this year but this is the DT we are talking about so they could be completely wrong.

Congrats to Mitchell - well deserved.

Though I swear he wasn't in the side when I first looked at it.... Was he a late inclusion?

Galloway dropped out and Allgood jumped the 18th man to come directly onto the bench.

AHA!

I was thinking the same thing as bartman
