The NRL confirmed today that Harvey Norman will be returning. The Bulldogs and All Stars are pleased to announce that three players will play for their ancestry in the forthcoming game on February 16 in Townsville.
The Indigenous Men’s team, led by Josh Addo-Carr, Josh Curran, and Bailey Biondi-Odo, has been announced for the Queensland Country Bank Stadium encounter.”Josh Addo-Carr has represented the Indigenous All Stars three times, including Captaining the side in 2022. A tough decision ruled him out in 2023, as he battled to recover from a gruelling 2022 season where he was one of the standouts in Australia’s triumphant Rugby League World Cup campaign. This year, he makes his return.
New recruit, Josh Curran also returns to the Indigenous All Stars line-up, while Bailey Biondi-Odo will pull on the All Stars jersey for the first time in 2024.
While speaking on selection to the squad on Tuesday night, Addo-Carr stressed its cultural significance to those who pull on the jersey:
“Playing this game is the same as making the Origin team or Australian team,” Addo-Carr said.
