Yeah looks like he played Oz schoolboys last year. But foxsports describes him as a Kiwi if that means anything. As Hartwood notes it all depends on when he arrived in Oz to see whether he's eligible for Origin.

There should be a six week window in the middle of the season. Play SOO over the first three weeks then have Australia vs NZ in a three match series. The Pacific Nations could compete with one another at the same time
A lot of players twiddling their thumbs in the middle of footy season. Especially players who don't qualify or are not selected for the above sides. Maybe have a challenge cup as well.
That will allow them to recover from niggling injuries so they're fresh for the second half of the season.

Manu has to play centre, so who plays five-eight: Brown - talented but question marks; Foran probably but injury prone; Johnson match winner but flaky. I`d be tempted to go with Foran because of his consistency.New Zealand set to take their strongest team ever to World Cup
In 2008 the New Zealand Kiwis national Rugby League team made history when they won their first-ever Rugby League World Cup
What are the question marks around Brown? He's been consistently better Foran this year
That ` glory play ` kick he made at the end of the Roosters v. Parra game at the weekend is the sort of thing that worries me. A cooler head may have looked on his inside before he kicked or certainly got the kick right.
I wouldn't count out Tonga... they're still a dangerous team
Tui Lolohea should definitely be there at 1 or 6
LMAO he said 2nd favourites.
You must've "LMAO" too before the Tongans played the kangaroos
Nah that was great. I laughed at the Kangaroos, like their fans laughed at us when we got jumped by Tonga and their traitorous ring-ins in 2017. It was good to return the favour. Australia were not taking international RL seriously and they paid for it. Unfortunately for them they haven't learned their lesson.
Oh trust me the Tongan halves are laughable but I stopped laughing when they beat the Kiwis and the kangaroos with those rubbish halves lol instead I respected the Tongans more... I don't know how good the Tongans team will be now... they lost alot of experienced players in that team... the Hopoates, Fifita, Sika Manu... Taumalolo also won't be that same dominant player he was for Tonga a couple of years ago too... but I'll still give them the edge over the Kiwis tbh they have too much firepower in the forwards and backs over the kiwis... I hope any other teams wins the world cup except for aussie... because they don't respect the international game too much
