So Brandon smith and reece walsh are allowed to play round 1 like latrell.

Served their bans during the all-star game.

Is the club going to grow some balls and apply to the nrl about niukore or just cop on the chin.
Disclaimer; I don't know if this is true but it could explain. Marata is from the Cook Islands and was not considered eligible for the Maori all-stars team.

If they have and it got rejected they should be leaking to the media the inconsistency of it.

I don't think the club has even thought about it tbh. But should there's a loophole there to exploit that other clubs are using.

So, basically its just your opinion.

Have you considered the possibility that Marata is not actually a NZ Maori, isn't eligible for the Maori, has never been selected for the Maori, and that he is by descent a Cook Islander? Or does that not fit with the narrative? Even Wikipedia (the supreme arbiter of truth and fact do not list him in the Maori player pool.

Note...guys like Rapana have played for both the Cook Islands and the Maori...but he both NZ Maori and Cook Islands descent.

Maybe the club hasn't even thought about it cause Marata isn't Maori?

My apologies i assumed Marata was eligible for maori side.

His name was brought up on radio last week as well last week that loophole could have been used for.

Anyway we will move on.
