Canberra Raiders Jack Wighton and Bailey Simonsson selected for All Stars match
Canberra Raiders five eighth Jack Wighton has been selected in the Indigenous All Stars squad, while Bailey Simonsson has been selected for the Maori All Stars - in an All Stars clash on the Gold Coast on February 22.
The less players we have selected the better in my opinion. The Jarrod Croker knee injury still leaves a sour taste in my mouth in regards to these games.
I believe every club has to send one player for each team though (if eligible ofc)

I imagine the coach isn’t willing to risk any more than the minimum number of players - and given other clubs are no doubt doing that - it is fair enough.
All Star year for Canberra Raiders' Bailey Simonsson
A year ago, Bailey Simonsson was watching the All Stars game just hoping to make his NRL debut. Now he's hoping to force his way into the Maori All Stars starting side on February 22.
“I'm not sure how many minutes I'll play or if I'll play at all - but to be a part of the squad's very humbling and something I'm really looking forward to being a part of ... It's been a big 12 months.”
