All Stars Game 2010

[Russo]

The Kangaroos and Kiwis captains and vice-captains are automatic picks then 16 public picks with one from each club in the non-indigenous team

And Nashy pretty sure Prince has some aboriginal in him, was even born out in Mt Isa

Comes across as a very loose concept. Should have kept it Indiginous Australia v Indiginous NZ. Atleast theres somesort of criteria...And maybe a Super League All Stars v NRL All Stars?

Fair enough. Does anyone know how far back it goes?

His grandma I heard somewhere.

Do we let them win the game as well? :roll:

No

After we win, we can say sorry to them for beating them.

 

[Nashy]

That's a fair shake of the sauce bottle.

No our grandkids will have to do the apologising

Since Hodges is going to in the Aboriginal team, I'm guessing our 'one' player will be Locky? Or do Captains not count? The article is slightly confusing in that aspect.

Captains of Aus & NZ are automatically selected, then an extra player from their team gets in too. So I guess we'll have Lockyer & FOlau in the team.

 

[Flutterby]

So if the player from each club is a fan pick what do they do if all the clubs vote for a (for example) centre as their pick? They can't have a team full of just centres. I don't think the fans are going to get to pick - the fans might get to have a vote, but there will be some kind of selection panel to make the final decisions on the team.

Also I heard that Bennett will be coaching the All Stars team and Henry will coach the indigenous team. Anyone know if that's true?

Fair enough - not sure if I entirely agree with that but I guess that is fair enough. I think Lockyer would have got it anyway since Hodgo is in the other team. Folau will 99% be the player from the Broncs then. :mrgreen:

Actually it is quite lucky that some teams are in the same boat. (e.g Inglis/Slater)

Yeah that's what I thought too....

yep WB coaches the All *s and Henry the Indigineous *s. According to the highly reputable news ltd.

This would be my guess:
1 Jarryd Hayne (Parra)
2 Manu Vatuvei (New Zealand)
3 Israel Folau (Brisbane)
4 Matt Cooper (Saints) or Josh Morris (Dogs)
5 Hazem El Masri (Dogs) or Brett Morris (Saints)
6 Darren Lockyer (captain - Aus - Broncos)
7 Benji Marshall (captain - NZ - Wests)
8 Petero Civoniceva (Penrith)
9 Cameron Smith (Melbourne)
10 Luke Bailey (Titans)
11 Anthony Watmaugh (Manly)
12 Chris Heighington (Tigers)
13 Paul Gallen (Cronulla)

14 Kurt Gidley (Knights)
15 Alan Tongue (Raiders)
16 David Taylor / Roy Asotasi (Souths)
17 Luke O'Donnell (Cowboys)

18 Braith Anasta (Roosters)

Some very popular players would be missing out...especially in the Eels with Hindmarsh (the most consistently popular player in the league over the last 5+ years) up against flash in the pan man of the moment Jarryd Hayne.

 

[Black Philip]

The aboriginal forwards look really shit apart from 1 or 2 players. If this game goes ahead the all stars will dominate. They should stick to an Indigenous vs Maori game IMO.

 

[Kaz]

That's racist.

Think about the white fellas that will miss out. [icon_razz1

 

[Charmamba]

gonna be a heap of the wanna be gangsta Aboriginals screaming black power for this game. Cronulla riots part2

 

[Nashy]

HEEEEEY BREW!
