OK since you're a f*ckin AMATEUR I'll cast my superior RL analytical eyes over the squads. 10 players in the Tongan squad have played for NZ you f*ckin dumbass. They're NZ B. A total of 13 were born in NZ. They're mostly our depth players who can't make the NZ side. 4 of them were born in Tonga (2 of which have played for NZ). 7 were born in Aus. You actually think that's "plenty" compared to the 13 we put up? Compare the size of your country to the size of ours you f**kin mong. 16 of the Samoan squad were born in NZ (1 of which is Papaali who was poached by Aus purely due to Origin). 2 were born in Samoa, and 6 born in Aus (2 of these have played for NZ - Pritchard & Roberts).
Aus have hundreds of players to choose from. We have like maybe 60-70. 24 will play for NZ. 5-6 will be out injured. 25-30 will play for the Islands. And then there will be maybe 4-5 Maoris who can't make the NZ side like Benji, Luke & Bodene Thompson. We are forced to give up the little depth we have. Due to Origin, Australia have kept mostly all their depth players, except for in WC years until the recent change. So basically all our resources are exhausted for international RL, every year. Australia doesn't have their best backup players like DCE turning out for random countries. We have basically all of our best backup players turning out for other countries, and playing against us. And now we have first liners becoming traitors. Our depth is stretched to the limit for the betterment of the international game. Aus can't say the same.
