As much as it sucks that the likes of Tamou and probably Kasiano choose an Aussie state over their country, I have to admit $50k for an Origin series must be pretty enticing for these Kiwi kids coming through the ranks.
I guess we just have to lump it considering how many Aussie born players there are in the Kiwi squad.
The time is right for a Kiwi style 'origin' if it helps retain some of the local born talent. Plus it would be awesome.
