So increase passion and reduce guys playing for the paycheck by adding players who aren’t part of the rivalry and want a paycheck?

What's murky - law wise - is a competition that excludes Australian citizens from participation and (more importantly) earning based on where they were born.

It would be one of the easier discrimination cases to win in history if someone like Taumalolo (if he's an Aussie citizen, which I think he is) wanted to take it up. The NRL are probably aware of this...

I know a lot of people who will be first to put their hands up and say I am a proud Queenslander and would love to represent their state... These same people would also love to represent their heritage, their parents, their ancestors if the opportunity also came up.

I see both sides.

If we are happy with Rugby League existing primarily as a sport for people from NSW and QLD, then its fine to keep origin as the pinnacle for people from these states.

I think if you want to expand the sport, allowing people to play for both NSW/QLD and their country of birth will improve the international game. Right now people will choose Australia over NZ so that they can also play origin - would be better for game as a whole if you could play both NZ and QLD.

Taumalolo is as much or more of a Queenslander than Inglis was. I am sure he could play for the jersey with pride if given the chance.

Haha, if that's what it was, I totally missed it. I thought he was saying if you think they should change the rules, you must be have stroke/TIA symptoms!

Give them a bigger platform, and more funding IMO rather than lose that momentum by making their pinnacle something they picked something else over in essence
