Totally agree.nightingale best player, such a great yr, he was just everywhere when we needed him hey, always pops up when hes needed to.
i know rules are rules, but surely if the aussies didn't want costigan, they could have let him play for png.
captain does not automatically mean best player in the team, nor automatic rep selection...

Patriotism has always been lost on me when it comes to International League.
With Nate, JDog and Flo representing the kiwis and the omission of Benny Creagh in Tim Sheen's team of niff-nuffs, I'll be cheering on the Kiwis more comfortably than ever.
How can anyone cheer for a team with Slater and Watmough in it.
