[QUOTE="Sam Owen, post: 647402, member: 43087"] News flash nick, Im half American Samoan and half Samoan. American Samoans call themselves Samoans, same language only the American Samoans have an American accent but we both identify ourselves us Samoans. There you go, you learnt something about Samoans. Have you been watching the news lately in regards to Samoans pretty much begging the All Blacks to come and play in our country. Yeah I think I sound like them. Too far? Maybe but its my opinion. Thats what I've been trying to tell William, that Islanders are a proud race. Im a proud Kiwi too but people will ask you from time to time, what are you? Then we reply what we are, regardless of your Kiwi accent. He's framed my arguement as well so why arent you replying to Williams post? Ofcourse most of them play for the "precious" ABs jersey out of pride but can you prove this I said "P.Is only play for the ABs for the money". Did I clear cut say that or are you framing the arguement? OK then.. To say the ABs would be average at best without the Islander players is pretty fair and is only racist if you go and stamp it a racist remark. Now nick you've been on here long enough to know that the rest of the worlds TRF posters say "the ABs are only good cos they poach P.I players", this is a clear indication that the world sees the Island players as the ABs big advantage and noticeble advantage. You take that away, you take anyones biggest advantage away and its a big loss. Lomu and other Islanders wouldve carved up against the All Blacks had their parents went elsewhere instead of choosing NZ. I base that on what he did to all NZ teams when he was playing provincial and Super. Lomus just an example of so many other Islanders (whose parents [B]chose[/B] NZ) who had ripped up or smashed fellow Kiwis in the national games. If I did poll on which is worse.. [LIST] [*]Me saying that the ABs would be average at best without the Islanders ever playing for them [/LIST] or [LIST] [*]William insinuating us Islanders are just beneficiaries. [/LIST] Which of those.. Lets not get away from the main arguement though. As I've stated before. [B]We are having to beg NZ to play in our country.[/B] That is why Im on this thread. That is my arguement. [/QUOTE]
