Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 2449158, member: 1992"] I think it is too hard to decide or it is simply not the sort of decision that has a correct answer. I truly enjoy(love?) SOO and the Premiership. Choosing, or making it an either or decision is missing the point. If a person has SOO as the highest priority in a year then truthfully they are not a supporter of any one club rather they are a supporter of a rivalry which exists between two districts which supply some players to a domestic competition. QLD and NSW these days are just providers of players to a competition which is much broader than those two states. SOO is impacting negatively on teams and hindering performances of individual players and those impacts have a knock-on effect. I can foresee a time when an administrator/coach will choose one player over another simply because he DOES NOT qualify to play for Qld or Nsw knowing he will have that player for the whole season. He will choose that player because there is no chance he will be lost for huge parts of the season or he won't come back to the club all busted and broken. In my minds eye a truly national competition will evolve. Less and less players are available for selection as players come from all over the world to play and declaring allegiance to one or the other will make a player less attractive. Imagine if you were CEO of a West Aussie side and most of your team came from that state, England and Polynesian backgrounds...state of origin eligibility may be a hindrance..... [/QUOTE]
