You look at these guys and they all appear to have some Polynesian ancestors - that is the difference - you look at the Kiwis they are physically bigger stronger and quicker than any other international side - 90% of their players have some Polynesian extraction - it is simply hereditary - look at the guys in the world cup from Samoa, Fiji, Tonga incredibly explosive.

Look at the emerging talent in the NRL and very little of it is pure Australian - the majority will have some South Sea Island influence

so people who are born in australia but not from english origin arent as pure as others.

wow. what a racist comment.

dally...you're in no position to call anyone a rasict after saying it's alright to make racist remarks if you have your nuts squeezed last week...


anyway he's not being racist he's merely pointing out that the genetic make up of australian/polynesian is different to that of australian/european

You'd be kidding yourself if you didn't think the unionites hadn't sounded them out.

Look at all the unionite articles for the last few years, they've targetted everyone under the sun but they've ended up with Mark McLindon (well past his best) and Will Chambers (fringe 1st grader)... Union in Australia has zero pulling power and with the GFC the French clubs will be tightening their belts (well, as best they can).

Holy f***, you really are a c**k of the highest order! I don't read this board very often and people like you are the reason why - you have to turn every post into an argument. Strange person.

Get a life you really are an idiot - that is not what I said and well you know it.

There is a correlation - if you understand the word - between the emergence of the current crop of top young talent and the greater influence in the game in Australia of the South Sea Islanders - Folau, Idris, Jennings, Luke, etc, etc

Look at the Aussie side:

Folau, Inglis, Kite, Hunt, Tupou, Hodges, Thurston, Civoniceva all of these guys will have Polynesian/Aboriginal heritage and if you look at the currently the best side in world the Kiwis that influence is even greater.

This could be just a period the game is going through where explosive power is important if not expect to see teams in the NRL with 70-80% Polynesian players. The Kiwis are unrivalled in both codes for raw power it is no surprise the content of players with a Polynesian heritage make up the majority of the team

Not genetically - a point you obviously struggle to comprehend - this is not about place of birth - the less you post the less stupid you will look.
