All-star team takes shape

A world-class backline, assembled by NRL fans, looks likely to start the inaugural NRL All Stars match.

Voting for the Indigenous All Stars team opened on Saturday 24 October to a great response from the fans.

To date more than 8,000 NRL fans have had their say on who will take the field for the Indigenous team in the historic All Stars game.

Unsurprisingly, given the talent pool, the current voting has delivered a world-class unit that will take some beating.

Based on valid votes already received, the current squad is, in number order from fullback to reserves;

- Matt Bowen
- Nathan Merritt
- Justin Hodges
- Greg Inglis
- Wendell Sailor
- Scott Prince
- Johnathan Thurston
- George Rose
- PJ Marsh
- Carl Webb
- Sam Thaiday
- Tom Learoyd-Lahrs
- Cory Patterson
- Dane Lawrie
- Jamie Soward
- Jamal Idris

If you're unhappy with the make-up of this team you can cast your own vote (or amend your current selection) by visiting NRL.com. Look for the Indigenous game tile on the home page.

This is your chance to determine which 16 players will join captain Preston Campbell in taking the field at Skilled Park on February 13.
