People who aren't caring or saying we don't need rep weekends have no idea.
For mine 1 rep weekend isn't enough, we need to have even more internationals on a yearly basis. This is about growing the international game, this Fiji v somoa game will will do wonders for both nations.
Especially if it becomes a yearly thing, players will start becoming eligible for these nations because they get to play international footy on a yearly basis.
I'd have Tonga v PNG on the same night at the same stadium.
On Kent, no it doesn't make him a racist, but what it does make him is an absolute nothing as a 'rugby league journalist' he should be encouraging these types of games. Not kicking it while it needs help to prosper, but it is typical DT style I guess.
I honestly didn't see the point of making his whole Saturday page about this matter either, didn't really help his already tarnished image as a professional sports journalists.
The professional thing was to have a small article and apologize if people felt that way about his comments, clear up that he wasn't meaning it to sound like that, then give the game a quick plug.
Instead we got him taking people's tweets and responding to them for everyone to read. Real professional
