The countdown is on for the NRL All Stars fight night.​

Raiders enforcer Josh Papalii and Eels big man Junior Paulo will both step into the ring on Friday night at Townsville Entertainment and Convention Centre, as will a number of ex-NRL stars including Todd Carney, Justin Hodges and Sam Thaiday.


Now the most interesting bout will be (obv) the Thaiday fight.

I mean...how do you be the third man in when there's only two fighting?

 

[Will on the hill]

No way Papalii or Paulo are allowed to take this fight if there isn't a "don't punch me too hard and definitely not in the face" agreement. I imagine most of the other fights will be the same. It's a hard pass from me.

Typical , throw three punches , run to the other side , fall down and retire !!

Had a very big mouth when playing but always hid behind others when the going got tough.

I can't believe Willy Mason is risking those false teeth of his

Great speech by Benny Hannant.

Please do tell...briefly? Wouldn't have thought Hannant's a boxer...

He only picked up the gloves a few weeks ago.
Wanted to set an example for his 8 kids.
Worth watching.

Someone should have introduced him to another type of glove a bit sooner....!

You'd have to have Thomas "Hitman" Hearns in there. I reckon Kostya would have made a good hooker.

I think Fenech actually payed a game on the wing for the Eels, unless I imagined it.

He played a reserves or trial game in the halves and I remember on the news the footage showed him grubbering for a try.

Adam Elliott and Michael Lichaa got it on last weekend.

The police played referee so no decision.

Lichaa’s fiancee tells police she was caught ‘making out’ with Elliott

Kara Childerhouse told police she was caught “making out” with her partner’s former Canterbury teammate before a heated argument that led to Lichaa’s arrest.
