There are clear requirements to become a tier 1 nation, which includes having a junior and senior established rugby league competition for 2-5 years. By these requirements, Samoa or any other pacific team other than NewZealand will never be a tier 1 nation because they simply dont have the economic stability to finance and sustain these comps. When will they understand that these are NRL players, most born and raised in Australia, they are brought up by the Australian system. This channel should do more research if they wanna ask better questions next time
Sadly this is the truth 😔 the lack of funding for both Rugby Union and Rugby League in the Pacific region hence why you see a lot more Polynesian players representing other Countries but should Samoa 🇼🇸 prevail over Australia 🇦🇺 this would be insensitive to help grow the sport in the World.
@@samfualau1102 yes these islands will never be teir 1 nations. Do some research and youll see the requirements to be a tier 1 nation and Samoa and other pacific teams are no where near fullfilling
Unless Australia make the first move to try and help grow the game in the pacific or we will just be getting samoan boys brought up in the Australian system and then hope they pick Auss
@@mudguts6785 Probably not obvious to you but if you’re ethnically descendant of a people like Samoa but born in Australia is the example. Sad I had to spell it out for you it’s okay you’re just slow but it’s probably not even your fault.
Don’t hate the players hate the rules. Why do the origin coaches select the players that they do because their the best at what they do at their position and that’s facts
Why only Australian born players though? Why can’t boys who played a lot of their football aswell as developed their football in NSW play for a NSW side? Disappointing
@@arza0932 for me it's confusing. I want to see Australian players play for both QLD and NSW. A player may have developed in that state but then pledges his heart to play for another country. That's the hurtful and offensive part. It's un Australian
Ok I think I have a solution if the Pacific Islander players represent Samoa or Tonga whoever Scrap the All Stars game and replace it with A mixed Pacific Island team to play the kangaroos that way everyone gets to represent their heritage and still play SOO 💯 ❤️
@@kalohagee3052 it's not fair to players who want to actually play for Australia nothing is bigger than representing your Country, but please read my Comment again and then give me your thoughts 😉
@@kalohagee3052 because they aren't Australian Citzens aswell so why would you want to play SOO then 🤔 and you said they were born in another country not me I'm answering your question.
Wants to play origin and play Samoa too the entitlement of kids these days I don't understand why people think Australia is responsible for other nations growth
I don't see entitlement I see perhaps a right...I think if aus citizen then why not play state of origin? Also Australia isn't responsible to help other nations grow but allow players to play for their country of origin. Unless Aus are too scared to be challenged at heighest level at their own sport?
Come on now let's be honest here they just scared because these little island nations have all the talents to beat then. Stop beating around the bush man you know it and that's why you're trying to come up with all these rules to stop the Pacific islanders from succeeding in this Sport.

Pacific nations on a role, as long as these reffs play fair.
Refs have messed up the world cup
What do you mean by meninga joins Samoa?🤦🤦🤦
Go tha Aussies 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 world cup champions no1
All these commotion about who represented who....I believe Australian team should represented by all Aboriginal...
You're off your head
Na we choose to play for Australia.We love our country.
💯 why not get some of the indigenous players who are just as talented to run a muck on the field cause I know the definitely can
Did they just say two players from Samoa was missing practice one of the main players right before the game
Hardout sound bit lazy 😂
I'd pick my nation over birth place any day let's go Toa Samoa the whole world is behind you.

Only true blue, Australian born players to play State of Origin.

Because they were born in another country and raised in another. Why should they not have the option to choose both.

@@chekawana no it just shows that the team is unstoppable and there will always be a challenge
No more Origin for the Samoans....
That is not gonna happen
At least the Islanders in the NSW side are born in NSW.
States wanna win so of course y'all gonna need not just Samoans in those squad but the Islanders - so yeap not gonna happen...
Yeah lets just have white aussies play hahah.
The rules are Australian players only for origin.
These overseas polys only rep for their roots when the money is big or if theyre gonna get a bunch of clout, otherwise they don't know you😂🤑🤑🤑
Melinga is jealous who cares about him Sualii decision

Live on you're Island and be a nobody leave the NOW Australian's to play a game that The NRL PAY THEM TO DO.
Let hope samoa don't get ripped off like the kiwis with a Australian ref lol
🤫🤫🤫🤫
Players that do not want to represent me and the rest of Australia.......please leave our country.
How about no? If we came here legally then we can do what we want within the laws. Unless you're aboriginal, you could argue we should all leave.
You want Samoans to play for Australia but not even you see them as aussies.
How about you make us bogan? 🖕🤣
