Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 2418152, member: 1769"] NSW fans always bitch about players who where born in NSW but spent the majority of their life in QLD but alwyas seem to forget it when the reverse happens. some examples that spring to mind: Peter Sterling - born in Toowoomba Willie Mason - NZ Ken Negas - Bundaberg Peter Wallace - Victoria John Hopoate - Tonga Ben Elias - Lebanon Ian Roberts - London Mario Fenech - Malta Craig Polla-Mounter - Victoria (then played his junior footy in QLD) Akuila Uate - Fiji there are a couple of players in that list that would be considered greats of NSW. and FTR, the only reason that Adrian Lam was allowed to play for QLD was because he started his origin career during the super league war when all player who had signed for the super league were banned from origin and QLD had no halfbacks at all. But from the soun ds of things Broncoman is too young to remember that. the only player that NSW can have a legitimate complaint about is Inglis. who played that solitary game in NSW after he turned 16. both state bodies took HIS word for it about who he was eligible to represent. if the NSWRL or the ARL had have spent 5 minutes doing research then he would be a blue right now and NSW would have still just lost 6 straight series.
