The 2009 World XIII recently announced;

Team (Australian unless stated): Billy Slater; Brett Morris, Greg Inglis, Michael Jennings, Taniela Tuiaki (NZ); Darren Lockyer, Johnathan Thurston; Fuifui Moimoi (NZ), Cameron Smith, James Graham (Eng), Gareth Ellis (Eng), Anthony Watmough, Sam Burgess (Eng).

Good to see a few poms in the side!

A huge year for Greg Inglis!

Domestically he was named the Dally M Representative Player-of-the-Year, the Ron McAuliffe Medalist (Queensland's Origin Player-of-the-Series) and Wally Lewis Medalist (State-of-Origin Player-of-the-Series). He also scored the game-breaking try in the grand final win over the Parramatta Eels, as well as the late field goal that sealed the Storm's 3rd premiership.

Internationally, Inglis was recently awarded the 2009 Golden Boot after being voted the world's best player by a panel of judges comprising some of the greatest players to ever play the game, as well as the recent Four Nations Player-of-the-Tournament award.

Would have been nice to see 2009 NZ Sportsman of the Year,,Benji Marshall in the side! Maybe next year.

That game not that far off & should be a bottler. Indigenous side likely to include both Greg Inglis & Johnathan Thurston. The NRL side likely to include both Darren Lockyer & Benji Marshall.

Should be an entertaining game Hat.
Can’t wait for the NRL (& AFL) to start up again!
