This came fast, which means NRL season is going to start soon! The all star game that by looking at both teams will be a state of origin (maybe a bit more in a sense) attitude type game. Both teams are stacked with reliable players running through each line up & heaps of mongrel in the Indigenous side.
This is also the first game where the double try rule will be trialed. This is where teams get to choose whether they want to go for a try or attempt the conversion, kinda NFLish if you ask me & changes the game when it doesn't need to be, I mean the state of the players these days you don't need such thing, takes away excitement.
Anyway, here's the teams, both publicly voted & you can catch the game live on Sky Sport 2 this Saturday at 9.30pm.
