2022 Harvey Norman NRL All Stars Match

Raiders star Jordan Rapana was placed on report twice for shoulder charges, while Sharks enforcer Andrew Fifita was sin-binned in his comeback match.

Rapana’s second hit ignited a melee and he was binned alongside Fifta who was playing his first game in 181 days following a career-threatening throat injury.

Maori skipper Joe Tapine was immense alongside his co-captain Kodi Nikorima, while Indigenous duo Josh Curran and Will Smith failed HIAs.

KODI STAKES CLAIM

“You sure know the way to a Polynesian’s heart” said Olsen Filipaina, eyeing a large pile of grilled Greek lamb chops. I had finally enticed the legend of Australian and New Zealand rugby league to commit to a story about his life for the Guardian Australia in their “Forgotten” story section.

The 26-year-old Bulldogs recruit assumes the role in the absence of Rabbitohs playmaker Cody Walker who is unavailable for this year’s clash.

Saturday’s game will be Addo-Carr’s third for the Indigenous All Stars. He’ll be joined by the likes of Alex Johnston, David Fifita, Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow and Nicho Hynes.

The NRL confirmed the appointment on Monday night.
