Not one Parra player

The highest level of Rugby League. Australia vs NZ in an international and the only link to the Eels of any player in the game is a cock head that dogged us a year ago is a half in the team that got flogged.

  • Foran played OK
    But NZ were aweful
    • I'd have Foran back in a heartbeat but my point is we have no international level players. It's a bit depressing..,
    • Ma'u withdrew due to injury, he'd have been one of the first picked
    • Foran was their best player by a mile
  • International Rugby League is dead and almost buried. If the game itself doesn't change it won't last another 50 years!
  • International Rugby League is not the highest level of the game. Origin is...

    Rugby League should let go of this whole international concept and start transitioning to more of a NFL/ American approach to sport.... its the only way the code will progress. Its been 30 years since we started really pushing for international footy and still nations like NZ, Fiji, Tonga and Samoa cannot compete

    • if they keep having their best players poached, of course they wont.

    • Is that why nz are world cup champions and won 4 nations few times over past 5 years.
      They go well in tournaments when they get some time together but can't compete in the 1 off mid year test against experienced Aussie side.
      As for other nations the majority of players for Tonga, somoa and fiji never lived there or moved to Australia before age of 5. They are propped up by Aussie players playing for their heritage. The few exemptions are Fijian players like semi and vunivalu but you would struggle field half a team of mixed pacific island team of players who lived on islands for more then 5 years each.
      International footy has a place but not mid season and not 1 off tests.
  • Last years Dally M winner is not eligible for Origin.
