Two Broncos named in the Indigenous All-Stars

One of the highlights of last season was without the doubt the NRL All-Stars vs. Indigenous All-Stars match. It provided an early taste of what the NRL season had to offer and offered a platform for Indigenous players to strut their stuff and represent their people. Sam Thaiday and Jharal Yow Yeh have been named in the side and the rest of the team is as follows:

Preston Campbell (c) (Titans)
Nathan Merritt (Rabbitohs)
Willie Tonga (Cowboys)
Greg Inglis (Rabbitohs)
Scott Prince (Titans)
Johnathan Thurston (Cowboys)
Tom Learoyd-Lahrs (Raiders)
Travis Waddell (Raiders)
George Rose (Sea Eagles)
Jamal Idris (Bulldogs)
Greg Bird (Titans)
Ben Barba (Bulldogs)
Jamie Soward (Dragons)
Carl Webb (Eels)
Cory Paterson (Knights)
Joel Thompson (Raiders)
Ryan James (Titans)
Matt Bowen (Cowboys)

It's safe to say that this side will be as entertaining as ever to watch with the likes of Thurston, Bowen, Campbell and Tonga throwing it around. It will be interesting to see the NRL All-Stars side when it's announced and if Lockyer will line up for them. Personally I'd like to see him take a step back from Rep footy but it's his choice naturally. Also interesting to see Carl Webb get a shot as he hasn't exactly set the world on fire for and a number of years now. Barba is also a bit of a bolter and a good side story has arisen with Greg Inglis retuning to face the sure to be angry fans at Suncorp.

Personally I can't wait!

Until next time ranters,

Waldo.
