NZRL Junior Rep Rugby League Players based in Aussie 2022

[Koro Dos]

There is some really good Junior Rep footy players in Aussie.

I would love to see NZRL honor the best NZ Junior Rugby League Reps based in Aussie and then play a NZRL NZ based Residents team:
The future of NZ Rugby League could be bright if they would look after them and stop players switching allegiance.
These games and players could help bridge the gap between the Junior Kiwis and the Junior Roos.
I would love to see these 4 teams play each other in an end of season best of 3 series.. I know money is an issue but surely NZRL could find the funding.. We need to be the envy of age group footy in NZ.

Anyways I just wanted to highlight the talent we have in the NZ Rugby League Pathways.
