Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2435113, member: 2221"] In our case it's even crazier, as besides being proud Australian Citizens, we have dual nationality (Portuguese and Dutch). FTR, I think my son's preference would be: Australia = Portugal > Holland, but Qld over any of them. The biggest problem here, is that people like Tamou or Kasiano probably wouldn't have chosen Qld over NZ if it wasn't for the generous extra income, which in turn is robbing the international game of its competitiveness... Take Hammo's example, which imo is a very good one. Australian Citizenship will generally be added to your other nationality, and very rarely will you loose or relinquish it. So yes, make the eligibility about the player's footy origins, not about his nationality of country of allegiance. It is after all about where you played and developped your footy, not where you were born. Benji Marshall should be able to play Origin and for NZ, as he came through the Keebra Park School footy system. Jack Reed should be able to play Origin and for England. On the other hand, Sam Burgess should never pull an Origin jersey on! [/QUOTE]
