Since it’s induction in 2010, the Indigenous All Star game has been played six times, only missing from the 2014 schedule, due to the large amount of players participating in the World Cup.
There have been many great talents to pull on an All Star jersey, whether it be Indigenous or NRL. So I thought it would be interesting to see what the best of the best looks like.
I’ve compiled two teams, made up only of players that have participated in an All Stars match.
