NRL All Stars 2024 match preview
Friday is the unofficial kickoff to the 2024 rugby league season with the annual NRL All Stars match returning to Townsville, where the Indigenous side will be looking for its second win in a row over the Māori.
These two teams have clashed on five occasions, winning two matches each and sharing one draw. Both sides are stacked with star players this year, including 2023 NRL Grand Final combatants Kotoni Staggs, Jesse Arthars, Xavier Willison, and Keenan Palasia.

NRL All Stars 2024 betting predictions
Looking at the team sheets alone, the Indigenous side has a wealth of talent, speed, and strength the Māori side will struggle to match. As players are wrapping up pre-season at their respective clubs and each side has only spent a short period together, the Indigenous side will only be expected to win by the shorter 1-12 margin at +185 with Neds.
Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow will line up at centre for the Indigenous side against Matthew Timoko, who is a much smaller and slower player. ‘The Hammer’ had a brilliant 2023 NRL season where he showed he could play centre brilliantly at both club level and on the representative stage. Expect an enormous performance from Tabuai-Fidow that culminates in at least one try, which is paying +150 with the top NRL bookmakers.
Jojo Fifita from the Titans has been a late inclusion to the Māori side, and he should not be underestimated. The Titans winger is a strong ball-runner and very skilled for a young player. Fifita will be marking Alofiana Khan-Pereira, and he will know exactly how to beat his Gold Coast teammate in a one-on-one situation. The +150 on offer with Bet365 at is great value for Fifita to score a try on Friday.
