Last years game was very good hoping this years edition can bring the same level of excitement. I'm going to go with the NRL all Stars by 8-10 points, just a little more depth in the lineup, though this game tends to bring out the best in the indigenous players.

Damn. Wanted Big Ben in there.

Great first half, a hattrick by Barba ( tries every 10 minutes) and an awesome 70 m run try for Jarryd Hayne ( Go eels).
Curious to see what the second half brings

 

[Amobokoboko]

2 tries for Robinson and the Indigenous Stars beat the NRL All Stars 32- 6.
Very entertaining game and a decent performance by Benji.
Now off to the gym and then 6 Nations

Yeah Indigdenous team were all over NRL, looked like they brought a different level of intensity to the game and their finishing was class, who was the bright spark in the graphics department that had the colour bars wrong in the scoreline at the bottom of the screen it was pretty confusing for the first few minutes till I got used to the fact that they had it flipped.

3 more weeks before the kick off of the new season. Ben Barba man of the match
