I don't respect people not representing their country. It undermines our international game, imagine if New Zealand had access to the players they should...
i couldn`t agree more.
karmichael hunt has lived in aussie for 4 years, he moved there when he was 13.
i wouldn`t have him in my kiwi team. traitor :twisted:
griff, you are dead right. i`m a big queensland fan, well as big as you can get here in nz, but the rules have to change.
we are planning to move to brisbane, & if my son is good enuff to play at that level, he will be playing for nz. not queensland, not australia.
we are kiwis, born & bred, thats who we support & thats it.
I know a few of you will say" why not stay in nz then", but hey, we came for a holiday & loved the place so much, we decided to move there.
whoever gets selected to play for the kiwis, should be selected because they want to play for their country. not because they don`t think they will get selected for aussie because some other players are better than them & thay won`t get a start.
tonie carroll is a classic example. went to the uk, so made himself available for the kiwis, goes back to the broncos, not available for the kiwis.
the rules must change.
anyway, thats just my opinion. crucify me if you will.
