Squads are in, congrats to our four boys that made it, bloody awesome stuff!

Man, I am honestly so excited for this game! Bring it on!

Both sides are pretty strong but man that Maori side in particular is stacked!!

Damn this is a real shame but the game must go on I guess. Does this now potentially give our Benji a chance to start?

Sure there's a chance of picking up an injury, but it gives Latrell a chance to get some match fitness having not played for so long.

This is the week!! All Stars week!!

The official start to the Rugby League year is upon us as it all kicks off on Saturday night! Honestly cannot wait for this game, I love it. In fact, the whole week leading up to it is great. An awesome celebration of cultures! Hopefully the game is a ripper too.

Let's get it on!!

All Stars camps have begun! Both sides got together today for the week.

For & Against - Can the Maori All Stars go back-to-back?: https://www.nrl.com/news/2021/02/16/for--against-can-the-maori-all-stars-go-back-to-back/

I think it'll be a really close game, they're hard to split. But I think I'll just tip the Indigenous side lead by our very own Latrell and Walker. Before the Storm players were sadly rubbed out, I would have said the Maori side had the far better team and would win but with their withdrawls, it's evened right up.

Yewwwwwww today is a day I have been looking forward to for a very long time, 2021 All Stars game day!! Seriously looking forward to tonight, not only does it officially kick off the Rugby League year but it is always one of my favourite games of the year. Two very passionate cultures, to very skilled teams, two very attractive brands of Footy. It should be a cracker.

Most eager to see all our Souths boys get their first hit out of the year, especially Latrell returning from injury. let's hope they go well.

Who are we tipping? I'm picking it to be very close. Indigenous by 4.

Saddle up!! Footy is back!

 

[Rabbits20]

No injuries tonight please.

Indigenous boys by 8
