Bullshit ... all Rewa and Ba Muslim reps from Sydney and yet they can't even win any Muslim competition in Sydney. None champions Sydney Stallions players in the team coz it's all politics ... and not all the players are Muslim. A notable exclusion is Nadroga rep in Fiji and NSW state rep Moshin Nabi.
