Peter V'landys flags major change to State of Origin eligibility rules

Rugby league supremo Peter V'landys has revealed the ARL Commission are considering a landmark change to State of Origin eligibility rules in a bid to reduce the impact on New Zealand and England's national teams. Under the current rules, players who are eligible for tier-one nations New Zealand and England effectively have to choose whether they want to play internationals against Australia or play Origin. But players eligible for tier-two nations such as Tonga and Samoa, are eligible to play for New South Wales or Queensland. NSW Blues stars Brian To'o, Stephen Crichton and Jarome Luai have all pledged to play for Samoa at this year's Pacific Championships. Rising Canberra Raiders star Kaeo Weekes was the latest big name to make the decision, committing to a representative career with Australia and the NSW Blues after reportedly rejecting an approach to play for the Kiwis. Dolphins young gun Isaiya Katoa also previously opted to play for Tonga over New Zealand in order to keep his Origin hopes alive in the future. But that could all change as the ARL Commission reviews a potential change to eligibility. 'It is something we're going to have to look at again and to me there does seem to be a stronger push this time for change,' V'landys told SMH. 'It is a strong argument that if you've played your footy in Australia before the age of 13 and you are eligible to play Origin, why shouldn't you be able to? 'If we were to change the rules, it would only be for New Zealand and English players. 'They're the tier-one countries impacted. [Players from] tier-two nations like Samoa and Tonga can still play State of Origin and represent those nations. 'It's a polarising idea. When we've consulted on any possible Origin eligibility changes some people have loved it, others hated it. 'We want a strong international game and calendar, and we want Australia to be challenged. And we want to respect the players and the nations they want to play for, and the argument for change is one we'll consider. 'It wouldn't be open slather – it would be mostly New Zealand players, and any change would be considered to ensure they're not left behind.' Under the potential changes, Kalyn Ponga could play for the Kiwis and Queensland, while Victor Radley would be free to represent England and NSW. That is the only change under consideration, and players would still need to have lived in NSW or Queensland before 13 to qualify for Origin. According to NZRL chief Greg Peters, 11 players in this year's Origin squads are eligible for the Kiwis. Peters welcomed the potential changes, highlighting Ponga as the perfect example. 'A guy like Kalyn Ponga is a good example. He's a proud Maori, proud New Zealander and a proud Queenslander. But at the moment he doesn't have the ability to play for New Zealand should he chose to. He's a really good example,' he said. 'The other one is Jarome Luai. Who knows, Jarome Luai might probably want to play for Samoa, and good on him for doing so. 'But he played Junior Kiwis and the point is that his pathway to the Kiwis was shut down the moment he was selected to play Origin. 'Samoa is going to have a team stacked full of Origin players, which is great for the game, but it's not available to us. We strongly support a review of these rules.'

MITCHELL JOHNSON: Ben Stokes' warning to India about sledging should not scare Australia ahead of Ashes

There's noise coming out of England again. Apparently, they've decided that sledging is back in fashion. Harry Brook reckons it's fun not being 'nice guys' anymore. Ben Stokes is warning opponents — especially India — that if they dish it out, England will return fire. Good on them. But here's a bit of advice: be careful what you wish for. Ashes series are about mental edge, sure. There's always been chatter, always will be. But sledging without substance is like bowling bouncers with no pace — the batter just laughs at it. Right now, England sound like they're trying to sound intimidating rather than being intimidating. Let's not pretend Australia are choirboys. I had plenty to say when I played — and copped plenty back. But that came with purpose. Sledging only works when you're dominating. And to be honest, right now England aren't. They haven't won an Ashes series since in Australia since 2010-11. They still don't know what their best top six is. Their Bazball model has some punch, but it's flimsy when conditions swing or spin. So maybe talking tough is a cover. A bit of theatre while they figure out the actual cricket. Here's what England need to remember: the Ashes aren't won at press conferences. They're won in the heat. When the new ball is jagging around at the Gabba. When a Mitchell Starc inswinger nips past your front pad before you've even had a look. When a bloke like Josh Hazlewood bowls 25 overs on the same spot and you can't breathe. That's when the real battle starts, not in the media, not on social clips, but in those moments when the scoreboard pressure builds and the crowd is roaring. I actually love this from an Aussie point of view. Let England yap. Let them tell the world how hard they're going to be. All it does is give the Australians more fire. Trust me — if you try to poke the bear on our home turf, you'd better have the game to back it up. Because when the words dry up — and they will — it's all about execution. That's where Australia are so strong. Bowlers who do the job no matter the surface. Batters who absorb pressure and make you suffer. Fielders who don't give you an inch. That's real toughness. If England think sledging will rattle this Aussie side, they're living in dreamland. This is a team full of veterans who've seen it all — and young players who grew up in these conditions. You don't need to get personal. You just need to perform. In fact, the most painful thing you can do to a team that's chirping is shut them up with cricket. Silence is the loudest response there is. While Australia might be at their most vulnerable in years with this current batting line-up — a few question marks at the top, the middle still rebuilding — they're still incredibly hard to beat at home. Always have been. Conditions, crowds, our bowlers — they all make life hell for touring teams. Especially ones coming in swinging wildly with the bat and the tongue. Let's not forget what happened last time England came down under. All the chat, all the optimism, then bowled out for 147 in the first innings of the first Test and for just 68 in the Boxing Day Test a couple of weeks later. That was the sound of reality setting in. And no amount of sledging helped them then. I'm not saying Australia are immune to pressure. They're not. This Ashes series could be tight — maybe even a real scrap. But if England think mouthing off is the key to getting on top of us, they've already lost focus. So to England, I say: bring your best. Talk your talk. But when that first ball is bowled in Perth in November, you'll find out quickly what's real and what's just noise. Because in the Ashes, only one thing matters — and it's not the volume.

Mitchell explains shock Newcombe substitution in Hawks win

Travel and the importance of Hawthorn's upcoming clash with Adelaide was behind coach Sam Mitchell removing star Jai Newcombe from Thursday night's game. Newcombe was forced to pass a fitness test on Wednesday and was substituted out of Hawthorn's 24-point win over Carlton at the MCG. But Mitchell said Newcombe's calf was completely fine and was taken out of the match with one eye on the Crows next week. Hawthorn and Adelaide played a thriller in Launceston earlier this year and only percentage separates them in third and fourth. '(Newcombe) had a bit of a tight calf, we had a five-day break, he did a fitness test before the captain's run yesterday and passed that so he was no worries,' Mitchell said. 'We've got travel, we go over to Adelaide on Friday night next week, it's obviously going to be a massive game for us and them as well. 'That's the game we want our players fresh and ready, and if we've got the chance to take Jai out and get some game time into others, him a freshen up, we thought that was a win. 'He could've kept playing, I actually asked him, got on the phone with him and said, 'How are you feeling mate?' And he goes, 'Yeah that might not be a bad idea'. 'He will certainly play next week, he'll be fine.' The decision to sub Newcombe was softened by the return of Will Day. Day had 15 disposals in limited game time, showing glimpses of the early-season form that catapulted him to Brownlow Medal discussions. 'The first four or five games of the season was when he went out and they tagged him in his first game back so that just shows how Carlton feel about him,' Mitchell said. '70 per cent game time was the marker and I think he finished on 69, we're really pleased we were able to get him through the game. 'He plays the game in a certain way, I think everyone likes the way Will Day plays especially because he's probably not built for playing it like that. 'I think sometimes he's got a loveable demeanour about him, he did a couple of things tonight where you're like, 'Oh yeah, there it is'. 'He will obviously be better for playing the game.'
