              This goes to show the Kiwi jumper means bugger all. Sure, hate the coach, but turn down a world cup spot because of it? Assuming it is the coach...

                And it's pretty dumb of JT to side with the players, who both seem to be genuinely repentant, over the stance that Kidwell and NZL have taken.

                Agree @Crazy-Horse, seems crazy that the Kiwi's jersey means so little to him.

                    @nepia The conspiracy theorist in me would suggest its because of Bromwich and Proctor getting the boot that Harris has chosen to get his injuries sorted.

                    The conspiracy theorist in me appears to be right. The players are uprising against the coach. Again.

                        @paekakboyz It's not like Taumalolo would have done this lightly, remember he chose NZ over Origin and Australia under immense pressure.

                        I think it shows how little international league rates, but then again we see it everytime a Kiwis team is selected and all of a sudden Kiwi players turn up injured.

                        I just hope that they don't switch his allegiance on the NRL game on PS4! I'll be stuffed without him ....

                          I suspect crisis talks are underway with Taumalolo and NZRL. It hasn't been confirmed by the NZRL or Taumalolo yet, and if it was already a done deal the NZRL would have tried to get on the front foot.

                          I could see Taumalolo being selected for the squad tomorrow morning but not Kidwell.

                            Wonder whether the idiots are still considering dropping Mannering.

                            Kidwell has really stuffed NZ league, fire him now.

                              Taumalolo confirms it with a piss-weak statement that we all know isn't true and the NZRL isn't talking today. Everyone is looking bad right now.

                                    How out of his depth is Kidwell?

                                    Foran, Harris - opting to recover from injury
                                    Taumalolo - gonegone to Tonga
                                    Proctor, Bromwich - ruled out by coach, surely if culture was ok, players wouldn't have done what they did...

                                        What a sad state of affairs NZ league is in right now.

                                          @westcoastie so Proctor and Bromich thought it was OK as KIwis to do this but never for thier NRL teams?
