The NRL All Stars game is back in 2019 with a revamped format as the Indigenous All Stars take take on a New Zealand Maori side at AAMI Park in what is sure to be an explosive match to kick the pre-season into gear. Join The Roar for
The NRL All Stars concept was last used in 2017, when the Indigenous team took on a ‘world’ team, which was more or less a farce, with only one team having anything to play for or represent.
This time around though, the Indigenous team have a worthy opponent in the New Zealand Maori, and it’s going to be passionate and fierce from whistle to siren.
Some of the best players in the game will be on display, and showing exactly how important the concept is, Latrell Mitchell has passed on a World Club Challenge trip to Wigan with the Roosters to play in this fixture.
One of the best centres in the game, he will be joined in a super team by names like Cody Walker, James Roberts, Blake Ferguson, Andrew Fifita and Tyrone Peachey.
On the other side of the park, the Maori will be led by Kalyn Ponga, with the Knights youngster lining up in the halves alongside another exciting youngster, Jahrome Hughes.
They have an exciting forward pack and will look to dominate the game that way, led by Jesse Bromwich, James Tamou and Kevin Proctor. They have experience right throughout the pack, and it’s where the game will be won and lost more than likely, with the Indigenous team having youngsters like Josh Kerr and David Fifita in the side.
If the Maori can dominate there, then you’d think Ponga and Hughes will be able to do enough for the points to flow against a defence which will fatigue, given it’s still pre-season and players aren’t at peak fitness yet.
If the Indigenous are to win, it’s going to come down to the kicking games of Walker and Tyrone Roberts. They need to control the game there, make smart decisions and build pressure through possession, territory, a mountain of repeat sets and making the most of all their opportunities.
Predicition
Hard to say which way a match like this is going to go. It’s still pre-season, but there will be plenty on the line. The Maori have the better pack though, so I’ll take them for the win.
It’ll be close and hotly-contested the whole way though.
