Idea: Australia vs Rest of the World 17

[smerk]

Fair enough. Thanks mate.

The Australian Rep Side need to get serious about international competition for it to start working. Player's need to be ruled eligible for the growing nations and therefore cannot play for the Kangaroo's
EG.
Petero Civonicieva should play for FIJI
Willie Mason, Karmichael Hunt, Brad Thorn, Tonie Carroll should be playing for NZ

I honestly believe the lure of State of Origin is what is killing International Competition and the sooner they change the rule on Origin players having to put their hand up to play for Australia, the sooner we'll see Internationals become more competitive.

Everyone wants it to happen, but the money hungry NRL executives don't care about Intl. League, because it doesn't bring in big bucks in quick time.

Sorry mate, I know your not an idiot, your post just inspired me to create that list, sorry if you were offended.

By the way, calling you an idiot is hardly abuse, abuse is such an ugly word, it could be moderately upsetting depending on your social/cultural context. If you were deeply offended, Im sorry, either way I apologize.

DeeGan, on what are you implying by your post?

A. That I was not accepting of ridgey's comments
B. I do not accept your opinion?

I dont get it, my posts were opinionated, so whats the problem?

I still fail to understand what I did wrong. I posted a message, a forum member didnt agree with my thoughts, which I thought was rather ignorant, considering his knowledge of the International scene was rather basic. I just wanted to re-enforce my opinion that this idea is not needed.

I understand, idiot, was not appropriate in this forum, but please, elaborate on what I did wrong - excluding calling him an idiot.
