Message: [QUOTE="Tunza's Chin, post: 2743031, member: 8986"] I have changed my mind on this recently and disagree with you. I think the most important part is about where you spent the majority of your youth and playing footy... For someone like Milf growing up and playing in Queensland, supporting the Maroons etc, makes him a Queenslander. That's the kind of player's who should be allowed to play - that properly understand the passion/pride in the jersey. But he's also Somoan at the same time so should be able to represent his heritage... Being Somoan and a QLDer aren't mutually exclusive. The international game will be so much better for it and I don't think Origin loses anything. Origin eligibility rules can't be changed... Someone like Semi shouldn't ever be allowed to play. He's not a true NSWer, can't understand origin without having grown up with it. Origin players all grow an extra leg in those games, more so then in any international, I don't think the same would apply to Semi. Why would he fire up more in an origin than playing for Australia? The absolute top line talents that could make the Aus team like Milf but chose a tier 2 nation would be doing it for the right reason as well... As much as I can't wait to see Milf playing for Aus, it's hard to argue that a world cup with a fired up Milf/Moose/etc playing for tier 2 nations wouldn't provide a much more exciting spectacle. Every time Milf and Thurston have gone head to head at 5/8th it's been infinitely better rugby league then any Aus vs T2 nation game I've ever seen. Why would we not want that on the world stage?
