That would be fair enough seeing as how that's his heritage, wouldn't it?

Nah, not allowed to acknowledge your heritage

I'm not saying you are, but in general why would Cooper, a Maori RL player from Tokoroa, possibly going back to RL be seen as something negative? I mean in terms of not knowing where his allegiances lie, compared to, say Brad Thorn going from Oz RL star to All Black champ and back again twice? It would be more surprising if these blokes didn't have divided loyalties.

Are you awake 'bro'? Loyalty? Are we talking about 2011 or 1980?

JOC has proven through this whole circus that he doesn't care much for his club or supporters. He just cares about the bucks.

Players don't even care about the Rugby anymore. RWC? Who cares when you're a young (uninjured) superstar hanging out with dolly birds whilst being paid half a mil a year to drink champagne in the lounge bar.

James. Time to f.uck off me thinks, you may have just missed your 'he is still a good bloke' window.

Lets get one thing straight here... if thats his heritage and he's a maori why would he the have this tattoo (prior to playing for the wallabies)

Benny, its still a maori tattoo, just filled in and with more detail... Speak to most maoris and they will tell you that the Ta Moko is a constant evolution...There is nothing wrong with a person being proud of there heritage.

Let's get one thing really straight here. I refuse to comment on what any person feels he/she wants to do to express their feelings about their heritage/culture. It is purely a personal choice. It sure has SFA to do with how they chose to further their professional life or which profession they follow. But most of all it has absolutely SFA to do with any of us.

PS. The two photos you referred as a point of difference only add weight to the argument that you don't have a clue what they are about in the first place.

I dont give a sh1t where he's from, where his hertiage is or if he played for England - Tonga - New Zealand and then Australia. I was pointing out he has a maori tattoo on his shoulder and he wants to return to NZ and play with his mate SBW. Go back to your kennel and support your bulldogs.

Have i ripped into half the wallabies team who aren't Born and breed fom Australia NO !! I would prefer to see quade stay in union instead of going to the 13 man code. He is young and another lost to our great shores if he leaves to play with the tongue lashing kiwis. (haka)

Ideally in WA with JOC and SBW to play for the Force but that ain't going to happen when JON is in charge and majority of the sh1t coming out of his mouth is "anti Force".

Parramatta is in NZ?

[The InnFORCEr]

Hertryk has just got back from Captain Run and apparently Richard Graham said that JOC decison will be kwown this weekend.

Perhaps he did want to speak to Jake White

Which would be fair enough too, hopefully he didn't like what he heard.

[benny]

Given up on JOC.....

2012 Season's backline i'd like to see.

9 - Turner
10 - Marque who ever can hold a number 10 and play consistently good
11 - Cullet
12 - Ripia
13 - Malfi
14 - Dellit
15 - Shep

Bench - Sheenan / Sidley / Swanpoel.

Yes, and you implied that he'd tried to cover it up after being selected for Aus. You're wrong.

and he wants to return to NZ and play with his mate SBW.

And implied that that was somehow wrong. I questioned why anyone would think that. So far you haven't answered. But don't bother now.

Go back to your kennel and support your bulldogs.

I've never left.

Have i ripped into half the wallabies team who aren't Born and breed fom Australia

No one said you did.

Great. But it's his choice - IF he even wants to. It's where he came from. Lots of expats return home. I bet there's plenty of Kiwis who regret his being lost to their shores in the first place.

If he stays to true to what has been reported that his decision will be based on Rugby

The Brumbies are a sinking ship - no chance he will end up there
