The whole series has been poisoned by first Queensland picking whoever they could because beating New South Wales means more to them than their own heritage then we see New South Wales start adopting the same tactics out of desperation.
Oh, for the love of...
If you're complaining about Adrian Lam and Tonie Carrol here, you should be well aware that they represented Queensland and Australia under the
exact same rules that allowed Luke Ricketson, Akuila Uate, Willie Mason, and a number of others to play for a different nation despite suiting up for NSW.
If you're complaining about Greg Inglis, at the time he was selected the NSWRL was convinced that he was not only eligable for Queensland but that his selection was a desperate gamble, doomed to backfire. All of a sudden he proves he's up to the task and presto-o change-o, evidence that under the new rules the guy who Queensland thought was a Queensland, who NSW thought was a Queenslander, and who the NRL and ARL thought was a Queenslander emerges, accompanied by much whinging from south of the border.
Frankly? Suck it up. Done is done. If NSW had shown the slightest interest in Inglis, he may have played for you... provided he was also shown the evidence he should (arguably) be wearing the sky blue and not the maroon he wanted to wear. It's not like NSW has a clean record on the matter, either.
