Indigenous All Stars favourite Johnathan Thurston will consult directly with team selectors on Thursday night courtesy of a live ‘chat’ on NRL.com commencing Thursday, November 6, at 7:30pm EDST (6:30pm in Queensland).
The Indigenous All Stars will become the first Rugby League team selected directly by fans and Jonathan will be available to discuss the fans thoughts on the side live from the UK as the VB Kangaroos prepare to head to Paris for this week’s Four Nations match against France by clicking here
Thurston is currently ranked third in the Indigenous All Stars team voting tally and is the public’s preferred choice to win the halfback jersey against the NRL All Stars at the Gold Coast’s Skilled Park Stadium on February 13.
He will also be answering questions about the VB Kangaroo’s Four Nations campaign, with the team set to play its final pool match this weekend.
More than 14,000 fans have registered their team for the Indigenous side, with Thurston joining Greg Inglis, Sam Thaiday, Tom Learoyd-Lahrs and Justin Hodges as the frontrunners in the voting tally.
Fans still have until November 15 to cast their vote at www.nrl.com/allstars and be a part of this historic selection process.
