Its a representative team. It's a team picked to represent the first australians. It's not simply a black team, otherwise guys like greg bird or beau champion would not be picked. Do you guys complain that kiwis don't get picked in origin teams, that aussies don't get picked for the all-black etc. Talk about picking a 'white' team, there'd be no such thing just as their isn't such thing as a 'black' team. If australians of British heritage wanted to form a team I wouldn't have a problem, but I think you'd find it hard to find numbers as no one in australia considers themselves British-australians anymore. We consider ourselves just australians, and there's a team selected to represent them, it's called the Australian Kangaroos. We have many representative teams at all levels of the game, we have the latino heat for south American players for example, various state teams, there's a police team to represent police officers, navy army and airforce have teams, teams for the disabled etc. We are lucky that the team picked to represent our first australians is of such talent that we need to pick the best of the nrl to play them, that the game itself can be a showcase of not only indigenous culture but rugby league itself, and the game can also help with alot of community work. The game is played in such a great spirit yet so many have such a huge problem with it?
