I never knew Laurie Daley was indigenous, so there you go.

Mundine missed out only because the selectors are racist.

[Hamm.0]

Yeah but Renouf and Inglis are/were better.

+1

 

[NPK]

Just wondering, what were the criteria for being aboriginal for this purpose? eg. would 1 aboriginal grandparent be enough?

It must be because from memory Laurie Daley's grandmother was Aboriginal.

I knew about Daley.
LOL about Mundine.

But was confused about Meninga missing out. Didn't realise he was south sea islander. There ya go, learn something new everyday.

 

[Sabu_2008]

No Peachey?

 

[Coxy]

Simms was a regular in the Australian team. Peachey wasn't.

 

[gUt]

I thought Tallis was half islander instead of half Aboriginie? Is his dad pure Islander or is he part Aborigine part Islander?

 

[mrslong]

As far as I know torres strait islander = indigenous.

Mundine missed out only because the selectors are racist.

At least Mundine can't say that he missed out on the team because he's black. [icon_lol1.
