Surely someone like wade graham would have been a better option then heighington

Said the same thing in the sharks forum.

With Cronk, slater and Gal now confirmed out, the Indigenous chances are looking a hell of a lot better. Still think All Stars by 10 though.

Whiteys by 18

Maybe Graham said "no thanks".....the top players dont seem to think of it as a must play game, so it wont be long until the interest from the fans and press starts to wane as well. It's at the wrong time of year for mine.

 

[lomz1]

Who you reckon will be the 1st Try Scorer?

 

[Tone83]

Call me crazy but I see GI shouldering the indigenous all stars to a valiant win. He's the best player out there and wants it more than anyone.

Wade graham isn't a top player though?

Buhrer was meant to be next in line for Manly by votes but Bennett only let Watmough go if he could have Foran.

 

[Diesel]

I'm glad Watmough isn't playing, I can't stand him

If the Abidigiknees sides forwards can remotely hold their own against the other superior pack then I think they have too much of an edge in the backline to be stopped.

 

[aqua_duck]

People going on about the indigenous backline but IMO the all stars backline is every bit as good.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Im cheering for Jarryd Hayne,the greatest athlete since Mundine

I think it's better. You don't get better than Inglis and Barba, but the 1-5 is better in the All Stars team overall

 

[Murf]

It will be interesting to see how The All Stars backline goes. Swap SKD for Jennings and you have what potentially could be the NSW backline in a few months time.

I voted for the Indigenous All Stars despite being a NRL All Stars fan. I believe they are "more in to" this game. That's not an excuse for the NRL All Stars, just my opinion and this will serve them well tonight Good luck to both sides, play well, stay healthy.

Thats the whole failure of what this game is about !! To the non indigenous its just a game to play or a game to watch.. If they win does that prove they are better than us? Stupid f**king game really, bring back the sevens.

Closed minded opinion to be honest. You fail to acknowledge the bigger picture here. I don't feel as you have painted all "non indigenous" people.

My ONLY knock on this game is that it's probably two weeks too early. I'd much prefer players have had a couple trials with their respective clubs before this game is played. I understand why it's not (timing = minimal disruption to their teams preseason). Enjoy the game for what it is and lower expectations about the quality you're expecting to see and you will have a great night in (or out) watching this game.
