Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3576271, member: 9052"] Was actually more the opposite for me... I want to see the international game grow and become more competitive so a NZ win was more interesting to me. I get pissed when broncos and Qld lose, because those competitions are even across the board so I care more about the result. At the International level the game has been so one sided to Australia that there's usually no contest when they decide to show up and turn it on... and it sucks away any interest in the competition. Growth of the Pasifika nations will inherently increase interest in the international game. Have a look at the Aust team from yesterday and the potential allegiances players 'could' take... not saying these players are even remotely interested in representing them, but Australia's depth in the outside backs is already getting short, imagine if Hammer, Staggs, Haas and Tino all represented Pasifika countries. Australia has the best spine no doubt... and this is the main issue with Pasifika nations, but if they start catching up at hooker and halves Australia's dominance might actually start to be contested and create a more even playing field. 1.
