There needs to be an investigation on Kent and why he doesn't want the Pacific Nations to progress. You mention Samoa or Tonga around him and his demeanour turns hostile. It's borderline racist..
@Bernard Foley Kent never said anything when all the poly boys left the Kiwis to play for there heritage teams. Now that it's affecting Australian selection its suddenly a problem
Absolutely he can't see past his ignorance and racist tendencies
Also Fox League must approve of Racist overtones...
Fox league must hate Polynesians making decisions for their own futures...bastards
FACTS!!! Kent just sounds racist as fark!
He’s part of the old dominance at all cost thinking that has stifled the game. The World Cup is now so exciting yet I don’t think he wants that. He wants cricket scores in League.. boring lol
These young men sat on the floor watching their parents, uncles, aunts and extended family jumping for joy when ever the country of their ancestors would play. Who would deny them the same honor
Kent would
So true...
I will never understand Australians who have the best players in the world, the best talent pool in the world, all the money in the world and yet gets offended when one player chooses another country instead
Still on old way of tninking this gentleman from OZ. No matter where we were born, no matter where we are in the world, no matter whether we are full blooded or half or quarter, we still think of where we originated from. There is a Samoan Song for our boys, whether it be league, rugby or 7s, Tama Samoa, it stated that no matter where they are, He is a Son of Samoa. Proud that these boys have the courage, to say hey, i want to play for my motherland. Good on him.
Amen to that.
@@Challenger0074 Yeah but to knock back your birth country is a slap in the face.We don't want those players.
It’s funny that you said that u don’t want players like that but they discussed it. That’s because they good players that make them feel a bit shaking or scared.
@@failautusigaming4389its not being scared to not want players who armt passionate about playing for Australia. As an Australian fan I love the fact some players have opted to represent there heritage because it means there are now more teams capable of winning. I still think Australia will win but I won't be upset if Samoa wins because it will inspire future generations of players and help grow the international game. It gets boring when Australia wins most of the time.
@@MrOx85well if he’s not playing for you then you don’t have to worry about not wanting him in the first place.
Totally agree with Buzz, I think it's great he's playing for Samoa
words i never thought i'd utter
White people have no idea of culture
NRL 40 percent polynesians.
By 2032 it will be 70 percent.
Tonga, Samoa and Fiji will be a FORCE
polynesians are just built for the game.and that's for rugby union also.
Kent is a trolling clown and just says things to create controversy. It just makes him sound dumb.
any NRL player playing for another country should never be allowed to play for the Kangaroos..gone
Just let him be it's good for International footy so stop efen complaining they have every right to represent their heritage whats wrong with that. .stop winzing and get on with business. .that's all folks🙏🙏💙💙💙
That's fine he just shouldn't play origin then lol
@@flimflama9333 if you're so high about origin rules where was the outcry when Luai, Paulo and To'o when they got picked for nsw after playing a certain amount of games for Samoa first. Or when Tedesco played for Italy at the world cup and than got picked for origin a few years later? You can't cry about it when it's the other way around champ
I think Paul Kent played only one game in first grade and never any test games.
He shouldn’t play for nsw then
@@flimflama9333 why, he’s not breaking any rules. He has every right to play for NSW and Samoa.
If you want to blame someone blame the people who make the rules not the ones who are following the rules
I have a confession to make, aussie thru and thru, world cup time, i support aust against tier 1 nations, hope we flog nz and eng, against tier 2 nations png, fiji, samoa etc, im cheering for the tier 2 nations, let them play for whoever they like, a strong international game is awesome
i’m in the same boat, i’ll be going for the islander countries
NRL 40 percent polynesians.
By 2032 it will be 70 percent.
Tonga, Samoa and Fiji will be a FORCE

👏👏👏
I reckon we need European countries to be strong that's where the dollars are France England Ireland
@@okusfayreno8599 Rugby union dominates Europe out of the 2 codes and its huge
Some blokes just don't understand that our heritage/family means more to us then anything. It's the driving force in why we play the game, to make our loved ones proud.
@Fusilli Pasta The way you guys make it out is as if players can ONLY have passion for 1 thing. Where does it say players CANT love both State of Origin AND their heritage nations?
James Tedesco played for Italy years ago, did you guys all crack on him for doing that and also playing origin? all I hear are hypocrites in the comment section
@@Enzoh685 just because I paying for the pride of the heritage they are properly born and raised in Australia n z they have every right to support state and heritage
This is the Imperialist/Colonizer mindset articulated.
The Polynesian players have a spiritual connection to their ancestral homeland these gentlemen cannot comprehend.
Racist...🧑🎄
Thank you to Taumalolo who paved the way for all these young pacific islanders to play for their nation ❤️💯🇼🇸🇫🇯🇹🇴
100%
Agreed!!! He helped out with both footy codes
💯%
Malo Taumalolo
Agreed
Having a sook about our Islanders not playing for Australia just shows how much confidence they have in their own people!
They need to get over it and recognise and respect the decision made by the players to rep their heritage and family with their own money. Paul Kent just doesn’t get it because he is sore that the islanders are taking over and are now looking to beat Aus
what a weird way to put it, nowadays everyone has some form of biculturalism, you've got an outdated mentality to consider non islanders "their own people"...strange mf comment
Those islanders are also their people.
News flash majority of fans don't really care about the international game and only really care about 3 games a year
@@jest3167
Yup. League really missed the boat in international popularity.
Union is huge around the world.
remember when Australian's complained that there were too much pacific islanders in the game now that Australia might not be favourites to win world cups now it's why are these islanders leaving us, I think it's great for international footy, I agree with one of the guys, I am proud New South Welsh Man more than I am Australian
So true!!!
💯
SO TRUE BAHAHAHA
@@thedonfonz2481 exactly 😂 and seeing as almost 1/2 of the NRL have some sort of tie to the pacific I don’t see why it’s a problem that some of them go and represent for their homelands. Helping the intl game is the bigger picture
Good on you Suali, its a honor to play for your roots, in the Pacific it means a lot to play for your home country. Rugby League is not only a sport it has become a way of life for all the youths accross the pacific islands..the younger generation will look up to you as a role model.Wise Decision..Heads up and Good Luck in the World Cup.
It's not Mals fault. If these players wish to play for there heritage then good on them. International footy needs more teams capable of winning.
Only way it’ll be taken seriously and grow
💯. Kent doesn't have a clue here
Pity Phil Gould wasn't there. Would've been full on fisticuffs between him n Paul Kent.
Who did the thumbnail? It says Somoa
I’m just here to say…. BOLO KENT 🤣 #TEAMPOLYNESIA
Kent is a clown 😂 giving them a chance to play both for origin and their country allows them to represent their state but also respect their heritage and it will only make international league better, there’s not even an argument he’s just trying to justify his bitterness
All Kent can see is Australia must be the best. Doesn't want to grow the game, but to him who cares. What a narrow-minded perspective.
How dare he calls the Pacifica players mercenaries?? All they want is for the small island teams to fall, he's a very bitter old man
I grew up watching Australia flogging teams, it got boring watching. I'm glad they are playing for there country. It will make them strong teams and make it more enjoyable to watch. Let's cut the 26 rounds down and grow the international game and play 6 nations comp. Each year.
Those smaller nations don't have the money tho.
@@thejoke2791 that’s why it’s good these players are doing it out of pride
couldn't agree more, the beginning of a much needed change.
State of Origin should be played over 3 week ends.
At the same time , NZ plays the Poms, Tonga & Samoa, Papua New Guinea.
End of year.
Kiwis, Australia, England, Tonga, Samoa.
Yeah true Australia use to put up 40 points a game smashing other international teams
Always thought that way.
People like kenty are the reason why international rugby league suffers.
I had a dream to play for the nsw blues and also samoa.. why is that a ridiculous dream.. Paul Kent needs to do a cultural talk with pacific leaders in the game to get a different perspective from the White Australian Policy. God forbid there was a First Nation's team, Kent would be out of a job if he spoke about them the way he speaks about the Pacific Islands
Bro, would you still have played for samoa if you couldnt play origin?
@@fitzfitzchivalry4538 100% I would. But why would they label it a ridiculous dream to rep both? I'm a staunch NSW supporter and bleed for Samoa too
What i heard from kent doesn't surprise me at all. It's a sentiment echoed by many white Australians that have grown up watching Australia dominate for so long and all of a sudden feeling vulnerable that now we can be beat by a bunch of islanders that are beneath us. European Australians,not islanders are the ones that have made every rule up in the game so why is kent directing his frustration towards us?? It's obvious kent has a massive disconnect with the Polynesian community because what he said was extremely disrespectful and insulting. Polynesians make up a huge percentage in the NRL with some of the world's best players and we are here to stay,get with the program Paul Kent,it's a new era!
This is the Imperialist/Colonizer mindset articulated.
The Polynesian players have a spiritual connection to their ancestral homeland these gentlemen cannot comprehend.
Kenty “You want Patriots, You don’t want MERCENARIES” I’m throwing hands already💯👊🏽
👀, Iike kenty, commente, he's got right one an wrong one, that the beauty of it he's a fair dinkum, Aussie, he's heart is we're he's colour s are
It’s hard to have a strong desire to play for Australia when they don’t even play enough and are only challenged by one other team! Repping your heritage and helping an outsider grow is much more appealing and legacy building than playing for the team that is expected to win. P.S: It’s possible to want to play fullback, and still want to rep a country due to pride.
If the indigenous players had their own team to take to the World Cup, how many will choose them over the green and gold? Yeah I reckon too. I just wanna know how kenty’s the same height as everyone else sitting down 🤦🏽♂️
Apparently Kenty is 5.7" . Damn i never knew 💩 could be stacked that high!
Dame straight...these guys? Interesting.
This Samoa is good all they need now is team chemistry,they are good individuals but they need teamwork
they werent complaining when semi radradra and jarryd hayne played for australia
actually a ton of people complained about Semi at the time but you started watching nrl this year so wouldn't know about it, pop off 😂😂
Add "Aussie" Jim Tamou into the mix as well.

Just proves that without our island boys these teams are nothing
Nar not really
Agreed😂
💯
totally agreed
You couldn't be more wrong. 💀💀🤣
Why not make a 3 match series featuring Samoa vs Tonga?? Played in NZL. I'd pay BIG money to see something like that. This would be something similar to State of Origin.
1st match to be played in Auckland. 🇼🇸.
2nd match in Hamilton. 🇹🇴.
3rd match in Wellington. 🇹🇴🇼🇸.
Why dont they talk about whos going to play for Aus?
we can tell Australia is the strongest team here that is why these guys are talking about other teams to hide themselves, they tried to make other people talk about other teams apart from the Australia team which is good too. Please leave Samoa team alone
Kenty is acting like Aus have no players left , they have by far the biggest pool of players to pick from. And Australia is a massive multi cultural country something between two states in Australia should Dictate the international game
Kentie just doesn't "get" the Poly lads -never has and sadly for him never will.
Maybe one day Kent may listen to others and learn something instead of yelling over others like the angry little man he really is.
Buzz actually was spot on - geezzzzz !!!!
He has a point tho. Image state of origin played with no kangaroos
Its crazy how far off all his stupid arguments are. He missed the point in almost all of them
@@whatda38 Imagine what you like but imagination is not reality.
Time stands still for no one it moves on and believe it or not things change but being stuck with a 1980s mindset will not grow League at all.
@@whatda38 That will never happen Kent is just being dramatic cause he’s scared of the smaller nations ACTUALLY being a competitive team that his beloved team could lose to
It’s either we grow the game and have a competitive international game that could hopefully compete with Union in 20+ years time. OR we let it die because people like Kent and you are scared of real competition
@@jackohere1878 we need origin for people who choose to play for Australia. We need Polynesian international games at the same time as origin
Thank you to all the past players who decided to play for there parents country’s . You have help pave the way to for the next gen to move forward and take on all the good and bad opinions when choosing to play for there parents to.
Kenty sounds like a child who would sign all the best players for his team on FIFA.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣so true.
I want my Australian team to be full of players who want to wear our colours, the green & gold. Play for their country. Just like the Islander men and women. Enriches the game.
Kenty is a straight up fool 😂 thinks he knows the reason sualii made his decision 😂
Ohh my days I actually agree with buzz more than Kent these days😂
Kenty, heritage is something you’ll never understand
Exactly he’s a fool
Why?
His culture is being a Murdoch simp
This is the Imperialist/Colonizer mindset articulated.

@@lualima25 yes we do, it’s something you can’t explain, it’s something that you feel inside.
these players luai, critchon, to'o, suuali they should appreciated that they decided to play for samoa and its the same for tonga and all the other nations but its giving teams like tonga and samoa to actually be giving a chance to not only play for their respective countries but to actually challenge austarlia and new Zealand i think theyll beat one of them, then you got england, png, fiji its gonna be a really good world cup i actually cant wait
You make no sense
Yep, good on them and it will be good to demonstrate to the pacific and world that Australia will always be the dominant force.
@@StanslaMichael but u understand that? lol
I’m actually really excited to see the World Cup this year a lot of teams are starting to look good 👍
Pity about the host country - they will be flogged!
Aussies get so upset when players have the audacity not to want to play for them. The arrogance 🤦🏼♂️
I say that if a player is born and lives in Australia or has lived in Australia from the age of 13 then, they should be eligible to play for NSW in Origin if they were born or reside there same goes for QLD, and be automatically eligible to be selected to play for Australia.
However, if a player has a parent or grandparent from another nation regardless of tier grade, then they should be able to play for that country if they choose to do so as well as play Origin as they are Australian citizens or permenant residents and they are entitled to be selected to play Origin while also growing the International game of Rugby League.
The game of Rugby League is changing and the rules have to as well if we are to grow International Rugby League as well as keeping Origin competitive.
I have the view that people are more upset that its only Tier 1 nations that are excluded from SOO. so if someone chooses to they can play for Samoa and SOO but not England and SOO. its just the rules making it ok for one person to have a choice and the others dont.
This makes way too much sense for the muppets that make these decisions, and Paul Kent
Just Australia trying to stay superior. Like he said, at best Suali’i would’ve played winger for the kangaroos, so why should they even care? He’s yet to play origin yet Kent’s still going off at him? He’s a 19 year old kid who wants to represent his nation, he’s Samoan and it’s a problem because he wants to play for them? Australia don’t need any Pacific Islanders or Māori players to have a strong contending line up yet still they name people who aren’t Australian in their extended squads purposely for this sort of media coverage, almost forcing blokes to wear the green and gold. Straighten up lads, you’re insecurities showing… there is absolutely nothing wrong with players opting to play for their respective nations. It broadens our national interest for the game, we claim it to be the greatest game of all but if you were to ask a random person in a foreign country if they knew what rugby league is they’d probably say no or either refer to the All Blacks 🤦🏽 and yet we sit here and wonder how we can gain more national interest? You’ve just got to let it happen.
If that’s the case then don’t play Origin. So sick and tired of seeing these players happily take a $30k pay cheque for a game of origin and then refuse to play for the country that the state is in
Spot on
@@jacksonloram7887 sick of what? NSW and QLD having the best possible line ups? Origin is the greatest stage in my opinion (like I said, it’s my opinion) so therefore I think that the best quality players should play, it’s rugby leagues biggest showcase, unfortunately I think you may find it hard to understand that some of those players aren’t Australian. Can’t have your cake and eat it too brother, Australian officials know the nationality of all these players before selection, stop having sooks when they’d rather represent their parents instead of collecting another large cheque, so it obviously isn’t about money, open your mind up a bit brother, see things from a larger scale.
@@sirslikk9236 it should be the greatest stage for players who want to play for Australia. I’m a Qlder, but seeing those Samoan flogs from Penrith carrying on like wannabe gangsters in a blues jerseys was the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen. Glad they’re not qlders, they’re all a disgrace
@@jacksonloram7887 mate, I think you should be looking into your own personal problems rather than worrying about footy because it seems like you’ve lost the plot. These blokes that Australia would’ve picked wouldn’t even of had sufficient playing time, so whether they played origin or not, yous wouldn’t have selected them on your run on side nor the bench… all you’ve proved today mate is that you hate to see other nationalities thrive ya racist dog 😂
As a Maori, Kiwi supporter, I support these players choosing to play for their families and culture. Many of my Kiwi and All Black heroes had Polynesian heritage. About time they got to play for people that love them and they love, no matter how they play. I hope the smaller islands and nations get some players too.
For decades, Islanders have neglected there heritage for Australia. It's only become a problem now because Australia see that it's become a competitive issue for them. It's happened in league and union for years on end
For fans of the game, and for the growth of the game, spread the love. Otherwise it's only a guaranteed 2 horse race every time.
That gets boring for a fan watching a world cup tournament each time it rolls around.
💯
They 100% should play for these island nations. Just don't try and represent NSW or QLD though.
@@jornavyr2459 Most of those Aussie born players represented their island nations first. Origin came knocking on their bloody door for help!
It's already boring, joker, when you can only go 60 minutes, thee other 20, minute is made up of penalty,after penalty scrum after scrum, line out after line out, kick, kick, an more kick, yellow card red card pull up, after pull ups, warning after warning, your right there joker it, getting boring to watch, rugby waste 1 to 2 in a half minute per scrum ,magin you have 10 of those per half, wat dose that tell, you, in league the game flows an 80 minutes of excitement it's not about who bigger, it's about, top entertainment, for the fans who wantd money for value, an excitement, GO, rugby league, number 1 in the world, Mr joker you wanna see top footy, it's about to happen in England, 16 nation competting, for rugby league world cup , then you'll see, rassel dassel footy at its best, speed, flair power, ball handling, it's no joke joker tune in an see it for yourself, 💪🏈😃

With twenty six million people in their country ,they still want players from Samoa with a population of two hundred thousand people.They love our Samoan players proud of Sua’ali’i and the boys God bless Samoa.
So obviously his decision was not about money its about your heritage and culture no money can buy.

Anyways....thank you Suaalii for choosing to represent the motherland. From this Toa/Sharks/NRL Fan!!

🤣🤣🤣 kalofae Aussies are buckling now
He wants an all islander side to play for Aussie the ufa.
Australia has a huge pool of players to choose from who have the talent, experience and dream of wearing the Green and gold jersey, just cause a few players opt to represent their county of heritage "we must consult the stars to understand how this could've happened as there must be some ulterior motive," gimme a break. Give a chance to those who love that jersey and they won't disappoint e.g. maroons winning S.O.O with their backup choices, they turn up for that jersey

😆😆😆 true story
I love this.. it’s been happening for years, Australia has also pinched other country’s top players with the money of SOO.
good on him, great for the game… aus just wanted his x factor and it’s the best for him and the team
Let them play for who they want, and if they’re good enough to get selected for origin they deserve to play that too.
kenty has always been a hater of the Polynesian teams trying to progress in the game
then he must be extremely bitter to see so many of our Poly boys playing in the NRL. What a t**ser!
Need diversity on that table for this convo I feel. Just to have a input on what it’s like to grow up in Australia as a ethnic person.
Times have changed, Kent thinking of times past. Origin and International footy is totally seperate now. There was once a time Australia would choose their side from Origin. Now it is picked from the NRL.Australia have a wealth of talent. Yes Origin has its roots in NSW and QLD, but the game is growing and we need to evolve, simply put, Origin is the best of the very best, the test of will for the greatest of our game, it makes for best product we have in the NRL.Yes Pacific players make up 50% of teams in the NRL, however Kent needs to have more faith in Australian players, plenty of talent in the NRL, no one is disrespecting the Kangaroo jersey, quite the contrary, out of respect they call Ma to let him know. Some things are worth more than money, its heritage, its close to one's heart. Australia will field a great side, plenty of history in that Kangaroos jersey, they can win. Tonga beating the Kangaroos is a great thing for rugby league, it has revitalised the international game for the better. The fact we are talking of Tonga. Australia, NZ and Samoa possibly winning the World Cup is exciting.
What you must understand these brilliant Polynesian , Maori young men are extremely proud of their heritage . Most still have parents and grandparents living at home . Let's face it there the future of our game.
However it's a huge loss to Australia.
That’s one thing people like kenty will never understand 😂 sure he grew up in Australia but he still was brought up by his island parents with island values . Majority of his friends are Polynesian . He’s poly through and through
So so proud. Just don't expect them actually live in Polynesia.
@@boldackalack_4864 actually I couldn't have said it any better .

With Anthony Milford playing they have a HUGE problem, but I hope they overcome him.
Awesome buzz this will grow the game big time.
The day 7 Samoans and 6 Tongans run out for the Blues? What an Origin Series we’d be in for 😂
Mal is a native himself and he fully understands where the Island boys are coming from. Gone are the days when players only want to play for Australia.. The world has moved on and new generation don't think like that anymore. They are now proud of where they from, and can see in the last 30 years that Pacific Island players are wanted anywhere. Australia will need to move on with times, and get rid of old bureaucratic way of thinking. Australia has plenty of talents. Looking forward to some good even footy for a change
Good for him and great choice to play for Samoa
Aussie have great players like turbo, latrell, Cleary, arrow, Jake T, munny, cobbo, tedesco and the list goes on n on. I understand the history of origin has always been if you're selected for origin, you are aligned with the kangaroos because of where you born in Australia and which club you affiliated to, but let these players have a choice to say who they're wanting to play for n respect their decisions.
Josh Papalií was born in Auckland.
Kent living in the 80’s. More options now mate, players can choose other countries and help build a competitive world game and there are more top players in clubs eligible to do so.
“There happy to cop money from origin” “there playing for there country for free!”
Nobody can complain about this! Good for those players it should be praised. Australia has been taking Polynesian kids from NZ etc in their teenage years and grooming them to play for The Kangaroos and Wallabies for years. Some players chose to play for countries of their heritage and Aussies start panicking thinking they can’t win
Paul Kent, justifying his bitterness 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm sick of Kenny he's just jealous that Samoa's growing now and he's worried about losing when they have great wingers like addo car, coates, oates, cobbo.
SAMOA MO SAMOA. Can’t separate us regardless where we are! Much love from Northern California.
I was born 1973in Auckland played for Mighty Hawks moved to Cairn's In 1980 played for NQ peninsula and Qld country I wanted to play For Queensland and kiwis it's only natural origin is different to test Footy
Exactly!
Exactly. It’s two completely different rep systems
72 model - Ivanhoes with Corrie, Skardon, Delacore and the boys. I remember you Conrad, you use to wreck c**ts. Good days yub 👍
if kenty could have his way, Australia and England would be the only two countries in the world that play rugby league.
This is beautiful. Aus win every year. It’s boring. This World Cup will be most exciting ever. Kenty is way off.
Good on you Joseph Suali.
So angry Kenty…….
Shooutout to Mal 🙌🏾💪🏾
Buzz is spot on
Australia has more than enough players in their pool to win this, and in all honesty, they probably will. they got an extremely elite spine of some of the very best in the business.
they have full backs galore.
Watch out for Samoa and Tonga world cup.
Tonga doesnt have the spine IMO
This has to be the most exciting the Rugby League World Cup has been in a long time. Poor take by Kenty for him to attack Mal is unwarranted, I doubt he had an issue when James Tedesco opted to switch to rep Italy and then revert back to Australia the next year as well as New South Wales.
The panel are worried for Australia
They will actually have a competition this year
For farksakes you had 34 of some of the best players in origin this year and you want another one Kenty? Ya womble!
a sook that guy Kenny
I'm not one to want for a diversity hire but Kent needs to go and replaced with someone of Polynesian heritage to give a different view so that people have an understanding of why Polynesian players behave the way they do. Meninga also needs to shut up because the laws were relaxed because of him and trying to bring Taumalolo into SOO and now that it's going against his want's he cries to change it up again.
When Australia team has to depend on Polynesian players of heritage is alarming... NZ, Tonga, Samoa, Fiji, are going to boost a strong forward packs... Aussie problem is that they have promoted ORIGiN above the INTERNATIONAL instead... I agree with Buzz it's good for the game and more competitive... Origin is not International, so why is Aussie selecting players from Origin when they have players good enough and equal in their playing pool.
Why don't Australia look at putting an Australian indigenous side in the world cup,we have enough talent, good players and mentors to give it a good crack, there's a lot of unknown talent and skills people haven't seen in this country.
It's better for the game in general if these players play for their country, it makes it a more competitive and 1 day these island teams will become tier 1 teams, which then encourages the up and coming footy generation to play for their country's with no doubt in their minds, instead of listening to outside noise
This world cup is going to be epic 🙌 👏 lets go 🙌 💪
Australia is going to wipe the floor with everyone just like they do every other World Cup. It won’t be competitive in any way shape or form.
It is obviously good for the game to have different eligibility rules for SOO and internationals. Best players in both competitions. Rigid thinking like Kent's misses the point.
We don't force Qld origin players to only play for Broncos, Titans or Cowboys. Apply that same principle of pragmatic flexibility to Internationals.
Well said 👌
Good job 👍

Are you serious Kenty? This is great for the game to grow on a world scale…we need to take the Union market….it’s a better game and should be played by all the Union nations
Kentys a flog his opinion is irrelevant
Yeah bro. More Samoans around the world know and enjoy rugby to league over all. But if we won the world cup. would be a great push to become a league nation.✊
@@thejoke2791 literally every other country but Australia prefer Union! International League has so much potential

True. Rugby is internationally massive. League missed the boat somewhere. Old heads like Kent don't realise how they stun the growth of this great game. There's plenty of other players to choose from. Look how Qld won the SOO. The 2nd pick players step up
Good. It's nice to see 2nd rate players getting a chance to play international footy.
A very rare W by Buzz
the collective “kenty😒” every time he says something stupid😭💀💀💀
Would he even make the Aussie side? I've got 3 or 4 wingers in front of him
Totally agree with Kentys comments. But at the same time you can't blame player's wanting to play for their country of origin. The NRL , Queensland and NSW need to review it's current selection process for State of Origin. This will make things very clear and simple to understand going forward. Not sure about the panels discussion on the favorite tag to win the cup. Australia is the team to beat 🇦🇺👍🏾
Never really disagree with PK, his stance on the Pride BS was fair and balanced.
As a Kiwi, I love & respect the Pacific Island peoples and how much family & culture means to them.
Of course I want them playing for the Kiwis, but as a 70 year old I want the game to grow Internationally and playing for your country is awesome
