I thought this All-star game had to have at least one player from each NRL team in their squads, I mean Niukore (unless suspension but surely not) could play for Maori's as could Wiremu Greig. Indigenous i am not sure about 100% but yeah it is good for us meaning no injuries i guess

Any eligible players we have must have had interest however declined ? I see at least one player selected in the indigenous team who is not a regular first grader . Which players do we have as eligible anyhow can someone answer ?
This is a good thing I never like seeing our players playing Rep footy nothing worse then a injury when not playing for your club thats why I'm always happy to see others selected in origin
Yep
That's awesome, I actually love it on a wasted game to be honest. How it's included in rep level is a joke.
Do we even have any Aboriginal or Torres Straighr Islanders in our top 30 now that Will Smith and Fergo have left?
Wiremu Greig played in it last year, Niukore i think qualifies for Maori's. Indigenous on the other hand not sure as there have been times where players have played and would never have picked they had aboriginal heritage.
Wiremu played as a fill in player last year from memory. Late injury withdrawal meant he got a call up.
But, yeh I don't think we have any male players with Maori or Indigenous heritage.
We do however have one Indigenous female player selected with 4 Maori females in the women's All Stars game.
You just said Greig played as a late inclusion, which is true, but then say we don't have any players with Māori heritage yet Greig is at the club lol
That was the case when it was the NRL allstars.
Now it's Rabbitohs vs Warriors.
