Andrew Fifita and Wade Graham are polling strongly and in line to represent the Indigenous All Stars for their clash with the Maori All Stars at Cbus Stadium on the Gold Coast on February 22.
Fans can still vote on who they'd like to see line up for each team before coaches Laurie Daley for the Indigenous team and David Kidwell for the Maori All Stars, determine their final squads.
Fifita and Graham have both been a part of All Stars previously, as has new Sharks recruit Jesse Ramien who has a member of the Indigenous team in 2019 and is on the ballot once again for 2020.
Sharks young gun Will Kennedy is another to feature on the Indigenous team ballot and if his outstanding performances for the Newtown Jets in helping them claim State and National titles in 2019 are anything to go by, he certainly wouldn’t be out of place if selected by either Daley or the fans for the game on the Gold Coast.
The Indigenous All Stars scored an entertaining 34-14 victory in the 2019 match up, which represented the first against the Maori All Stars squad.
