Strange that he is eligible for Australia but not for a state especially now that tier 1 nation players can play origin. He may need a special case of origin eligibility.

Samoa dominates, Niue snares huge result at QPICC
A fantastic performance from the Niue under 18 boys prevented Samoa from claiming a clean sweep at this year’s senior QPICC tournament, powering to a 20-2 win at Bill Norris Oval.

Mel scored 3 tries for Niue in an historic win over Samoa in Pacific under 18s.
Would be because he grew up in Melbourne until he was after 13.
Long term I wonder if State of Origin would ever include WA or Victoria if the game grows big enough
I understand him being excluded under the current rules, more pointing out that he is a special case not currently covered. Billy has pointed out he has represented Niue, maybe he isn't eligible for Australia. But if he spent most of his life here and is, surely he can't be excluded from origin? Eligible for the first state of nsw or qld he registers to play in?

O’Sullivan being able to sign KP and Dylan without anyone having a clue shows you how good he is at what he does. By all accounts the story was KP negotiations were months away as were Lucas. I can’t imagine we get to the middle of next season without Sharpey being locked up for a long time. That will be his priority.
Still not wholly convinced Bradman will commit given he may want bigger dollars now he is a father. He dragged the last deal. Was close to joining The Tigers. Happy to be wrong, but the injury history is getting a big concern now for the output.

I know he has a kid but if you can’t raise a kid on $700k a year even after tax than you really need to learn to budget, many people do it on a lot less with more kids.
I wouldn’t be grudge him wanting more money it’s just that if that was the reason than it’s a bit silly.

Bradman is another priority signing. Him, Saf and Sharpe remain as priorities, although I think Sharpe has one more year so can deal with his contract next year I say.
I think with Gags and Friz no rush and see where it all lands end of season. I haven’t seen any games of Toby Winter. But I’ve seen enough of Hunt to feel he will be ready for FG centre spot next year.

I heard Peter O'Sullivan on the Chiming In podcast, a really good listen for anyone that hasn't caught it. He mentioned that Ponga was the one that wanted to get the deal done quickly without it getting out, which is a credit to him. However you can't deny that POS is a sharp operator and he has left clubs better off for being there
