International Rugby League Eligibility @intrl Seeds planted domestically MUST be grown but will reach full potential with expertise 🌍 🏉

Couldn’t be more grateful for the support this year! Let’s go again in 2027 🫡 🙏

@David310734 Hunt yeah 100% - other two I’d need to check when I’ve got things to hand

🇨🇰 🇱🇧 🇯🇲 🇵🇱 🇮🇹 some of the big winners now.

🇼🇸 🇬🇷 🇹🇴 will benefit over 20-30 years ahead.

Other nations naturally benefit also. Everyone’s player pool will increase - b ur at what risk?

Opinions aside, the reported changes to the eligibility system may mean you see shortened lists in 2027 as the research needs another cycle and I’ll need to double back on a load of players.

@Discomclennan Who’s this in reference to mate?

[He Can Play For - International RL Eligibility @HeCanPlayFor]

Some early research on the impact of the great-grandparent rule. A decent nation who didn’t play at this year’s men’s World Cup.

NRL Players: 6 (up from 5)
Super League Players: 12 (up from 4)
NSW/QLD Cup: 5 (up from 3)
Championship: 26 (up from 23)

@BrianDavies12 @IntlRugbyLeague @BradWalterSport @NoHelmetsReq @KazandjianDanny @troygrant This been confirmed Brian?

[He Can Play For - International RL Eligibility @HeCanPlayFor]

Anyone able to confirm if the IRL made any reference to qualifiers for RLWC2030 being open to all members and not just full members? Thanks

@IntlRugbyLeague @BradWalterSport @NoHelmetsReq @KazandjianDanny @troygrant

[He Can Play For - International RL Eligibility @HeCanPlayFor]

@GLR_Clarke George, was anything said about who is eligible to qualify for 2030? Is it still full members only?

[He Can Play For - International RL Eligibility @HeCanPlayFor]

@NoHelmetsReq @IntlRugbyLeague They’ve agreed to open qualifiers to non-full members?

@goodgyalcillah @RachelSorney You’re surely joking? Surely?

[He Can Play For - International RL Eligibility @HeCanPlayFor]

@David310734 Yes

@CallumJMo @linmanfu Migration from those islands is 20-25% less than what it was in 2010

[He Can Play For - International RL Eligibility @HeCanPlayFor]

@RNEditss @HullKiwi The Cook Islands itself has 210 registered male players, enough for a side but I’m being facetious. This is all about keeping the nations top-level strong to keep TV interested. Shame

@stegibbs6 FWIW, I wouldn’t have changed a thing. This does nothing for many trying to grow the game in the nations itself outside of Australia 😢

[He Can Play For - International RL Eligibility @HeCanPlayFor]

@stegibbs6 It’s more about diaspora mate, I was approached in 2022 to help but I refused, Pacific Island migration is getting less and less and by 2040 they’ll be much weaker due to lower migration. This decision negates that

@SwanMort @mundellism @IntlRugbyLeague Lebanon highly unlikely to be eligible. A few UK/Europe journalists saying it’s 12 teams

@CTRLFC Gricey fresh off smacking all and sundry about for Wales - credit to the kid 👏
