Ratboy, Choose the best coach that is on top and active. With SOO in AFLMG i chose the best coaches coz i knew they were active.

Yeah, that's what I'm doing. Seaeagles09 isn't interested, and I'm not going to be managing a team.

How about make it QLD vs NSW and NZ Maori vs Aboriginal All-Stars.

Yeah, that would be better actually.

Obviously we can only use players currently playing first grade out of that lot, because there is no other way to score.

Nice list, but if any of them are allready in the QLD or NSW squad then you'd have to take them out.

Why don't we make it Pacific Islanders vs NZ Maori?
Because most of the indigenous all stars like JT,Inglis,Hodges,Tonga and Thaiday are playing SOO.

Pacific Islanders Squad (players who played for FIJI,TONGA,SAMOA & PNG)

01. ESI TONGA (Tonga)
02. AKUILA UATE (Fiji)
03. WES NAIQAMA (Fiji)
04. FETULI TALANOA (Tonga)
05. TANIELA TUIAKI (Tonga)
06. ????
07. BEN ROBERTS (Samoa)
08. FUIFUI MOIMOI (Tonga)
09. PAUL AITON (PNG)

17. NEVILLE COSTIGAN (PNG)

That list was as of last year for the Exhibition against the Aboriginal Dreamtime, So the teams that they are playing for, may not be up to date.

Hmmm, Corey Parker is in the QLD squad so I'd bring in Packer for him.

And Fiji, It doesn't matter if Origin players play for Australian Indigenous.
