Carl Webb
Cory Patterson
Daine Laurie
George Rose
Greg Inglis

Joel Thompson
Jonathon Thurston
Justin Hodges

It is not a bad lineup at all.
The team will be called the Dreamtime team. Their jersey was designed by former indigenous NRL player Sid Domic, a Kalkadoon man.
Scott Prince, also a Kalkadoon man, has said it is very special and a privilege to represent the indigenous people of Australia.
Preston Campbell of the Nuccorilma clan of the Kamilaroi clan said there is nothing bigger than representing his family, his clan and his community.
The game will raise over $1.5 million which will be delivered to rugby league’s One Community charities with over half to be spent on indigenous projects.
There will be no more important game on the 13th February 2010 across Australia.
Rugby league’s deep community connections are its salvation. It is a game of redemption, after all just ask Wendell.
