[QUOTE="THE CHIROPRACTOR101, post: 134971"] wow...i cant remember where i heard this but please correct me cos even one of rugby leagues hardests and honest critics said "20 years from now the NRL will be dominated by polynesians" that was ol phil gould...one of the most successful rugby league coaches of all time... now dont get me wrong there are alot of aussie based islanders and maoris but wow.....the kiwis are growing in numbers..maybe its a good thing for the sport in general? the most important stat for the kiwis is we are getting alot of depth in the pivotol areas..we have always supplied the jugganauts upfront but now we getting a new breed in the form of wingers,halves,backs and centres you cant complain when you have krisnan inu running amok..and luke isaac darting out of the ruck for 20 metres at the moment form team for the kiwis "could" look like this 1.krisnan inu (eels) 2.sam perret (roosters) 3.steven matai (eagles) 4.simon mannering (warriors) 5.manu vatuvei (warriors) 6.benji marshall (tigers) 7.jeremy smith (rabbitohs) 8.roy asotasi (rabbitohs) 9.ben roberts (bulldogs) 10.nathan cayless (eels) 11.sonny bill williams (bulldogs) 12.frank pritchard (panthers) 13.dene halatau (tigers) 14.sam rapira (warriors) 15.fuifui moimoi (eels) 16.jeremy smith (storm) 17.rangi chase (dragons) thats a pretty a good team considering i left out names like faumuina,lauaki,tuimavavae,the puletua bros,harrison,luke covell,jake webster,luke isaac and a whole host of other forwards out..also noting the fact that we are still missing alot of super league kiwi players.. anyways just thought that this is an exciting time in the kiwi/pacific island league circles..especially with the league world cup coming up soon...should be better for the game globally.. we shall see..debate away [/QUOTE]
