Only 3 warriors across the board.
Strange , usually a far higher representation.

Perhaps alot of our players have island heritage rather than Maori? Driving down for Cairns for this

3?

 

[Bushman]

Pati Hebert for maori.
Jamayne Tounua-Brown and curren for indigenous.
Wierd and probably a first that warriors have more players in indig team. But looking at those warriors selected, prehaps warriors refused to let starting 17-20 be able to play?

 

[AlexM]

3?

Riki
Curran
Jamayne Tounua-Brown
?

Jordon Riki plays for the Broncs

Pati Herbert now plays for the Titans.

 

[matiunz]

Find it alarming that an *NZ based club doesn’t have a Maori player- I’m assuming Tohu Harris said no thanks?

Shit I'm mixing him up with Jackson frei for some reason? Haha

 

[Worried2Death]

Pretty good Maori lineup but Indigenous look far more dangerous to me, Dave Kidder will need to pull off a miracle to get one over Daley this year.

 

[Sky Waka]

Didn't Reimis play for the Indigenous team last year? But I'm okay with him flipping every year.

 

[Wellington Warrior]

Warriors refused to let any big name players be available according to 1 news.

Maori wanted Kodi, Chanel and Tohu Harris and the Warriors said no...

Would of been good to see the Chanel Harris-Tavita - hughes combo, oh well probably for the better for the club this year

 

[snake77]

I wasn't expecting this game to be on, not sure why probably due to covid and everything being disrupted. Nice surprise seeing articles about different players being included.

Going to be good to have some football played.

Last year it was good to get an early look at Jamayne Taunoa-Brown. Curran got a nice try running a good support line, this year from a Warrior point of view it would be good to see him have game time.

Ofcourse Browny said no, the NRL scheduled our only trial on the same day as the All Stars game. NRL can gefe, not our problem.

Hopefully the trial is televised.

First chance to see our new team and also the streaming of the trials is always a unique experience with different commentators or no commentators etc.

Yep Browny said NO .
Is this the first bit of friction for Nathan Brown and the Warriors?

Nathan Brown accused of ‘ignorance’ as Warriors’ Maori trio pulled from All Stars camp

Brown’s stance led to criticism from NZ Maori Rugby League boss Hemana Waaka who said he was disappointed by the coach’s stance.

“I think that is an ignorance in terms of releasing the desires of Maori people to represent their race,” Waaka said.

“The players acknowledge this is the only time they can get together as a whanau (family), as a ropu (group), as Maori.

“And recognise who they are in terms of the different tribes and the different history that goes behind them"

That trial will only feature under 21s(or 23s cant remember) from each club, so not relevant.

Edit - players who have played 12 games or less.

I'm ok with the club/brown saying no.

Ok fair enough wasn't aware of that.

I'm still ok with it also. Both our halves and pack leader, seems like a recipe for injury disaster. They've already had a disrupted pre-season due to the split camp issue, so completely understanable why the club said no.
