The upcoming All Stars match at Skilled Park could just be the game that introduces and re-introduces people outside the heartlands to the game of Rugby League.

The match, which will be played before the start of the season, must be shown around the country to simply show people what the game has to offer, even if it’s just to show them that the game of Rugby League isn’t just a soap opera with the off-field incidents they hear about. Rather to actually show them the skill and passion the game holds.

The promotion of the game has been fantastic. Hearing players like Preston Campbell and Jonathon Thurston describe what this match already means to them. The passion is already there, and dare we dream we could have
another match which will drive the same passion and excitement that State of Origin has given us for 30 years.

Not long now until the kick-off. So to those who love or loathe the game, I do suggest you tune in on February 13 and watch what will be one of the matches of the year .
