International New Zealand Kiwis

[The Warrior Waka]

I always assumed Kevin was born and breed kiwi with Cook Island ancestry.
KL would definitely be eligible one would think especially after how many games Kevin and Tony played for the Kiwis.

Kevin was born in NZ. I lived right across the road from the Iro's in Glen Innes. Shaun Hoppe and I played Glen Innes Falcons together. Iro a grade up.

 

[Shogun]

Timoko, Pompey & Mariner before Hiku for mine. Tamale is Australian born, does he have NZ heritage?

Timoko has zero defense, gets scored on every game. Wahs should target him on Sunday. Pompey's a left centre, Mariner hasn't played a lot, Simonsson's injured, Toia's... Leiataua's playing NSWC so maybe McLean. Hiku wasn't bad last year so just went with incumbent.
Thought Tamale was NZ born but you're right he not

Timoko & Kris the Raiders centre pairing for the Kiwis. Mariners decided to play for Samoa. Leiataua is next up in the centres. McLean has the most upside. He won’t turn 20 until next year in April.

Another player that I think is pushing for selection if he doesn’t select Tonga is Fonua Pole.
Terrell May gets a lot of praise which he should but Pole has been fantastic for them.

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Surely willison is a target for that backrow position over Riki and Papalii?

I hope laban gets pulled into camp.

Last I heard he was thinking of playing for England as born there . He could also play for Nz as parents born here and has a Kiwi passport. But he is a proud cook islander!

What are our chances of getting Madge back as Kiwis coach?

I would say zero if he’s still the Broncos coach.

I reckon he's told the Broncs board either Reece goes or I go, so our chances might be quite good

You've made this up as humour?

Seems it’s little early for all hell breaking loose there hey.
You would think they would give Madge a few seasons to see what he can do.

Just a suspicion, they're like oil and water. The nail polish and eyeliner got Madge's blood boiling, but Reece TV is the last straw.

OK.

I wasn't sure if it was humour or speculation. Surely he has only just gotten his feet under the table. They never let someone go in their first season ever.

He wants a clean out of players not buying in. Wonder if Cobbo is buying in? Someone should ask him if he thinks Madge can coach.

Good for madge. Well done him. That team has too many ball handling play making stars and not enough worker bee players. The stars aren't enjoying themselves as they hardly ever get the ball as too many other dudes want the ball to make a play. Everyone is feed up. Only one or two defensive specialist players are in the team.

Sounds like Ponga can play for Kiwis of the Brimson decision. Won’t be able to represent QLD Morons if the does though

They can't enforce that, unless he plays for the Kangaroos in a match.

Both Ponga and Brimson had represented Aussie in 9s which they’ve apparently said doesn’t count. I think once he pulls a Kiwis jersey on, he can’t represent QLD Morons from them after as the rules stand I think?

Sorry - I misread your post. I thought you meant he was ineligible to play for the Kiwis. Yeah, if he plays for the Kiwis - under current rules he would then be ineligible for SOO. There was chat a few weeks back that the rules might change.

Can he still play for Kiwis even though he's played Origin?
