Quote ="Dougy"As long as the Aussies don't start pinching the best Fijians for themselves.'"
But they will.Goes without saying. And I don't mean that to sound negative. Culturally the Fijian player would then help his community by donating monies back home. So they'll take the money on offer. Especially if they played Origin for match payments rather than national identity or pride.
Quote ="roopy"The big area they could improve is if Sutton is fit and could be their main playmaker, and maybe Groome could move to hooker, where he usually plays, and where Fiji seem a bit lacking.
They probably also need to find 3 or 4 quality forwards to compete with the big 3 nations. Their backs are good enough, with Sutton their halves would be good enough, but once you take out Civo they are looking very short in the forwards.'"
Great to hear your Knights put a lot of effort into Fiji mate.
Aaron Groom is ordinary I'm afraid. The person to be looking at is Apisai Koroisau. He plays hooker/half at the Bunnies. Imagine a halves pairing of him and Sutton as they train together week in week out anyway!
Quote ="Buggo"They would have had to move to Australia before the age of 12 to qualify for SOO
That would make them Australians via emigration.'"
Not 100% true Buggo. Uate moved to Oz as a teenager.
You are not Australian because your family move here. You may be a resident or permanent resident.
