The prestigious Arthur Beetson trophy goes on the line tonight as the NRL and Indigenous All Stars clash to signal the arrival of the 2012 NRL season. Join us for live scores and blog from 7:30pm AEDT
Now in its third year, the 2012 Indigenous All Stars match promises to be an exciting affair, given that both sides possess some of the NRL’s most lethal attacking talents.
The Indigenous All Stars line-up makes do with two of the NRL’s leading tryscorers last season in Ben Barba and Nathan Merritt.
Throw in established superstars Greg Inglis, Justin Hodges and Johnathon Thurston into the mix and the Indigenous backline could easily rival the Queensland Origin backline that has tormented NSW over the past six years.
The NRL All Stars however possess plenty of firepower of their own, with captain Benji Marshall, Josh Dugan and Cooper Cronk heading the list of players capable of producing points in an instant.
Prediction: Given that both teams possess great offensive capabilities, the side that controls possession tonight will go a long way towards winning the Arthur Beetson trophy.
The battle between superstar halves Thurston and Marshall will also prove vital in determining which side emerges victorious.
At their best, Marshall and Thurston are the NRL’s leading playmakers, and both players will be looking to use their great ball playing skills in order to involve the devastating backlines they possess at their disposal.
If both teams play their best here, one still favours the Indigenous All Stars to triumph tonight. The reason being that, unlike the NRL All Stars backline, the Indigenous All Stars possess players who have all played with one another at State of Origin level.
Thurston, Hodges, Inglis and Yow Yeh already know each other’s games pretty well, so one would expect that the chemistry in the Indigenous All Stars side will take less time to spark in comparison to their NRL counterparts.
Regardless, this should be a high scoring and entertaining affair that should get fans well in the mood for season 2012.
Indigenous All Stars to win.

A high scoring affair ends with the NRL All Stars winning the match. They were 12 nil down early on but they came back strong in that second half and took advantage of an Indigenous side that failed to match the intensity they displayed in the first half.

I fully respect and acknowledge the Indigenous people and being here first. But its quite obvious that they have a lot more to play for in this game than the NRL all stars.
Being 3rd generation Australian-Chinese, I don’t carry the belief in the union jack nor do I have ancestors who fought in the ANZACS. But my family came through the white australia policy and we’ve integrated. I’m proud as hell of that.
My point is, can’t we give the NRL All stars a better banner to give them a cause to play for too? The Indigenous team is playing for their culture, their ancestors and political issues which are never far from the surface.
I don’t have an answer for this problem, but surely there is a way to have the game as Indigenous vs. New Australians (new being as of 1788)?
