Agree Manu.
I guess if your an Australian you can't understand exactly where NZers get disapointed over things like this.
We need your money,time and experience to develop alot of NZs finest and then they get distracted by Origin and dickheads in their ears play for aus, play for aus, you'll be a chance for origin as Benji has stated, plus being there long enough to be eligible pretty much from first grade debut, as most these kids get over there as teens, makes it even easier to pursuade them.
So they are good enough to play for their actual country or adopted.
Then they have a choice to make turn your back on what you know, who you are, your roots or ORIGIN and australia because yourve been there 3 years or whatever.
Resdiency rule is ass unless your from say antarctica and really good.
