I love nothing more than than the team having majority Qeenslander's. New South Welshmen like Bailey, Bird, Gordan etc... have proved reliable while the past few years I've been proud that we have been one of the NRL clubs with the most players representing in the Indigenous All Stars team. And already we have recruited a promising Pom.
But should we have more Kiwis and Islanders then we do now?
I've love to see a Titan in a Kiwi jersey. In fact the first and last Kiwi to ever played for NZD was Jake Webster in 07. While we all know The Gold Coast is home to over 43,000 Kiwis and others more with pacific islander heritage. There is a low percentage of the 40k that do support the Titans but we had we more kiwi players, at least 20% would support the Titans and the rest would have our club as No.2 in their hearts.
Not only do we have lack of kiwis but also Pacific Islanders. We have already got the PNG flair in the likes of Mead, the hulking Dom Peyroux, Burleigh forward Louis Fanene and handy acquisition Mark Ioane with kiwi heritage, but only David and Dom will likely named at all in 2013.
their is no doubt that their an abundance of talent in the Pacific Islands, a former player said Fiji have players like Marika Koribete everywhere. Young players like Mead,Koribete, Hurrell, Waqa, Uate etc... add strike to their respective teams.
