How do you know the current players don't want to play for Samoa and NSW/Qld? Since they are Samoan and also from NSW/Qld?
I would say that a lot of players (like Lafai, Vidot, McGuire etc.) want to play for Samoa, NSW/QLD and Australia.
They think that they are entitled to play for every country they are eligible for.
They don't quite get it (nor do some of the RLIF) that RL is an international sport and must have strict laws like the Olympics, IRB and FIFA.
The problem is this Australian (yes Australian!) mentality that players like Lafai and McGuire have, whereby they see playing for Samoa as "helping them out", rather than making a conscious decision to pick the country they want to play for, for the long-term (not short-term!).
