[QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2152433, member: 1764"] I'm not convinced eligibility is the issue. The Australian team doesn't have any non-Aussies really, other than Hunt who has lived here since he was 12 so it's not like we "stole" him. Personally I still think Inglis playing for Queensland is a far bigger crime than anything. He's no more a Queenslander than Andrew Johns. It's no longer State of ORIGIN in my view, it's simply State I Want To Play For. So let's use that philosophy at Test level. To quality for a country, you have to be one of: - Born in that country - Lived in that country for more than 3 years - Your parents were born in that country Within Australia, state qualification rules should be similar: - Born in that state - Lived in that state for more than 3 years Many players would have multiple qualifications. How do you sort it out? When players reach the age of 16 (which I believe is considered a senior by the IRLF) they are required to fill out a "Statement of Allegiance". Simple questions on it: 1. Name your first choice international allegiance 2. Provide evidence that the above choice is eligible 3. In a World Cup year, if your first choice international allegiance does not select you, which other eligible country would you choose (excluding Australia, New Zealand or England) 4. Provide evidence that the above choice is eligible 5. If your first choice international allegiance is Australia, which State do you align with? 6. Provide evidence that the above choice is eligible Once you submit that, it's filed, and nothing can be changed. No more changing countries. [/QUOTE]
