The United Nations of Bronco

[McHunt]

With TPJ, Fifita, Staggs, Niu, Hoppa and Joffa being bashed here lately, it occurred to me we might have a mass Tongan exodus on our hands. Having no clear idea of who's who in our coat of many colours I thought I might run up a list. Note that being in a category doesn't imply they're not born and bred Qlders, Australians, etc only that they would qualify to represent other countries or an ethnic rep team. Some appear in more than one category. It's complicated, as they say.

Make of it what you will, but it also highlights what I've noted elsewhere about our lack of homegrown indigenous talent - something our CEO bragged about. It's quite possible we'll have no indigenous players next season, and if we do they're New South Welshman.

If anyone feels like doing the same for QLD & NSW, that might be interesting too. I've only included players who qualify for other countries:
