....no super leaguers will be picked ..

Never were.

One thing ...

Goodwin is not an international winger!!!!!!

 

[scottyb_old]

maybe not but he's our best option till Tuiaki is fit and ready to play

 

[Kumul_old]

I don't know maybe Greg Eastwood will be in the picking. He was impressive when Leeds played the Storm.

 

[Magic Stick_old]

No need for Super League players for the Anzac test, we have so much depth now

 

[Magic Stick_old]

Andrew Fifita the young tigers prop whats his status... Kiwis,Aussies?

 

[Fazz_old]

What about Proctor for the Storm, any Kiwi in him?

Article in League week that he's very keen to be a Kiwi too so no dramas there. EG he won't pull a KHunt. Alex Glenn looks like he could be the goods in the future too...

Fifita wouldn't go close to the team even if he is a Kiwi for mine..

Wasnt saying Fifita for this year,just wanted to know if anyone knew his allegiance

 

[kiwi's 13-6_old]

andrew fifita i think is john fifita (80's st george player) son, john fifta migrated to australia from tonga, so has no nz connection. i reckon people need to get over the mentality that all polynesian players are automatically kiwi's! theres been polynesians migrating to australia sine the 1980's.


we have potentially the best line up with people in key positions in great form luke, marshall, foran, hohaia/perret/nightingale. hopefully vatuvei is fit for the test as well.

Well said and I agree 100%.

The NZRL is going overboard trying to find some type of connection to NZ i.e. Andrew Lomu, Reni Maitua, Zeb Taia etc.

 

[Northern_Union]

Well when you have the likes of Brad Thorne, Tony Carroll, Khunt turning there backs on the Kiwis for the aussies i say approach every player that available for the kiwis.
