Vlandys getting threatened by what happened on the weekend. Kind of undoes the whole "Origin" in State of Origin.

If you're a young WA kid inspired watching the Perth Bears, you'll have next to no opportunity to play in SOO but if you're from some Pacific Island you can cosplay as a QLDer and get in the side.

How can you be eligible for an Australian state and another country at the same time?

So this is about people like Victor Radley? Doesn't it just mean, why should he be excluded, if it's OK for people like the Sims brothers, say? Seems fair enough to me, unless I've misunderstood.

They already let blokes who play for other nations play Origin, so I get it. Happy to have no Kiwis play though.

Kiwis have played Origin in the past, though, surely. or are they considered as 'not really Kiwis', like Karmichael Hunt?

Brad Thorn played for the Maroons and the Kangaroos in League but for the All Black in Union.

It's always been a bit of a cluster****.
