Hasn’t played a Test since 2016, he was 24 years old.
That’s a lot of coincidences and injuries not to play one game for 8 years.
Maybe the SBW debacle left a nasty taste in his mouth which is understandable but whatever the reason he has chosen not to represent the Kiwis imo.
Mate what a filthy mongrel that bloke was hey.
When he brought the 2nd suitcase for an example showed what kind of evil calculating prick he was.
Crazy that 95% of the story plays out on CCTV as well.
Felt so much for her parents, basically killed the father as well.
I honestly think Ponga has no real desire to play for Australia.
He’s a Kiwi that wanted to play Origin.
Conspiracy theory maybe he did want to play for the Kiwis eventually.
I’m sure you could make an argument against the 9s being included as full representation.
Him and his old man could not...

Can’t see him ever back in the Roos whilst Mals in charge.
I still put a lot of the blame on Ronald’s Manager but what the Dragons did was pretty shameful.
Just hang him out to dry.
At least we done the right thing with the surgery costs.
Hopefully Ronnie can make first grade again asap.
Firstly, totally respect your Army duties mate.
I know us doubters are talking about safety a lot, that is definitely the main drawback.
But the lifestyle, it will be like being in lockdown again with your small compound.
Wives and Children lifestyle would be terrible imo.
You say they fly to...
Apologies Tohu I shouldn’t have laughed but it was because your rebuttal was all about the travel advisory’s.
My argument still remains even without the warnings, PNG is a very dangerous place and Players, Coaches, Trainers and there families are going to question if they want to live there.
I think comparing Auckland or Australia to PNG is a little weird.
There are travel warnings for PNG advising not to travel there because of Kidnappings, Murders and Civil unrest.
Players I could maybe understand living in a compound but taking your family there might be a bridge too far.
Day to...
It all sounds good on paper but imo this will be an utter failure.
I’m hoping the NRL have polled the players if they’re willing to relocate.
I seriously can’t see whole families living in an armed compound, even for a huge salary.
How the pathways will work is another question.
I hope I’m...
Just seen the games start a week later because of Critttas wedding.
People saying the OG panther lads were going to the wedding so Toa would’ve had a B team.
Pretty good of England to allow this if true, also Toa getting on the front foot and asking.
