Pacific players buck trend & tell City-Country to get stuffed!

The Residents team is ,yes, the representative team of the clubs playing in the QLD Intrust Super Cup ( except for the PNG Hunters who not eligible).

I believe the rules are that to be a Residents player (for either QLD or NSW) you must also be eligible for that same state's Origin team.


My point was that players eligible for the Pacific Nations ...that are also eligible for the Residents game can also cause a headache for PI selectors and supporters.

It is when they prefer to play for QL residents rather than their own country.

I know it means nothing with respect to national allegiance but it's a bit worrying when a Fijian international puts a residents game before his nation's Pacific Test match. I wonder if he'll put his hand up for Fiji when the WC comes around? If he does I hope the Fijians tell him to ram it.

I have know idea, but is that what happened.... did he actually need to make a choice between the two, or did he not even get selected to play for fiji? i haven't seen anything that says he knocked back playing for Fiji in a pacific test so that he could play in a qld residents game out at shitty Langlands park.

Proud Samoan prop Junior Paulo says while he remains close to his Samoan roots, if push comes to shove his top representative allegiance is to where he grew up playing all his football – NSW and Australia.

This shit needed to stop.

He wants to play for Australia he says while preparing for a Test with Samoa???
