 Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga has called for a shake up to international rugby league eligibility.

“I don’t believe guys should be able to go back and forth (between countries),” Meninga said to The Courier Mail.
“What I would like to see is that every player nominates which country they want to play for right from their first registration in the NRL. That way, there is no confusion around who they are eligible for.


 Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga has called for a shake up to international rugby league eligibility.

Under the current international rules players can represent nations in both tier one and tier two, allowing players to switch allegiances. As it stands Australia, England and New Zealand sit in tier one with Tonga, Samoa, Fiji, France and Papua New Guinea holding second tier status. Twelve months ago Murray Taulagi featured for the Kangaroos at the World Cup and played for the Australian PM’s XIII only three weeks ago. In just a few days Australia clash with Samoa and Taulagi will make his Samoa debut. Meninga believes it’s time for the system to change.

“I don’t believe guys should be able to go back and forth (between countries),” Meninga said to The Courier Mail.

“What I would like to see is that every player nominates which country they want to play for right from their first registration in the NRL. That way, there is no confusion around who they are eligible for.

PARKER TAMBUA     Appo Settling  in, set for clash against Bati KUMULS forward Keven Appo has settled in well in the PNG camp after arriving from the United Kingdom on Friday and is ready to face the Fiji Bati on Sunday. The Bradford Bulls enforcer in the Betfred Championship said the Fijians had a quality pack but his fellow forwards in the Kumuls were focused on what to bring to the contest instead of their opponents.

  MEET THE SANTOS PNG ORCHIDS SERA KOROI - INSPIRING THE NEXT GENERATION OF RUGBY LEAGUE IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA Santos PNG Orchids by Santos PNG Orchids MEET THE ORCHIDS – Sera Koroi: It Takes a Village When Sera Koroi found out she was pregnant in mid-2021, she thought her long-held dream to represent the Orchids at a Rugby League World Cup was over, with the tournament scheduled for November that year. But a 12-month postponement left the door ajar for Sera, whose mother is from New Ireland Province and whose father is from Fiji, to play for PNG after all. Sera explains: “When I got pregnant, it was God’s plan for me. I really trusted that no matter what. Then when the tournament got postponed, I thought it was meant to be. Before I knew I was pregnant, I actually injured my angle which forced me to stop playing, which was His way of taking me out of the sport and making sure my son would be healthy. “After I had my son Viliame on 28 October 2021, it was pretty hard because ...
