A couple of my cousins have just 'registered' to be put down as 1/32 Aboriginal because it qualifies them for some kind of Government assistance. ****ing ridiculous.

If he has been brought up with a understanding of his heritage and culture then fine but I have not heard him mention it once and Jono Wright was in the unveiling of our Indigenous jersey - why was he not involved in that with Fifita if he has an indigenous background?
End of the day a rep jersey is a rep jersey and I don't begrudge him for taking it (if he is actually is) but I do think it takes away from what the event should be about.
But i still love Wade.

If they are blood relatives then you should get in on the act too.

They are blood relatives, and no I won't be getting in on it. Rort.

LOL.
But yeah, looking at Wade and his father, it's a definitely possibility that there is some aboriginal descent. If Moley's rumour is true, I have no problem if he wishes to take the representative game on offer, might be good opportunity for him to learn a bit more about a part of his heritage that he doesn't know about and to pay respect etc etc (...Basically idgaf, whatever).

The problem is the selection into the indigenous team would require the same amount of indigenous blood as going into the dole office. Only takes your great grandfather to have had a stab and all of a sudden you are indigenous.
I guess its no different to Origin and pathetic selection criteria

Wade walked through Redfern once... that makes him eligible. Apparently.
well seeing 'we' killed off all (most) full bloods it seems only logical that most would carry only a % bloodline (not to mention how much we complain about ppl not assimilating, then **** on them again when they do).
In any case I find it unsavoury of anyone to be judging who is what and whether they should qualify.
if the nrl thinks wade is entitled to the jersey then good luck to him and hope he has a great game!

Kid can play.
If he's part Eskimo, Indigenous, parrott - makes no difference to my entertainment value.

Smear themselves in whale blubber, not too pleasant in a scrum on a warm day.
