Drink Match-up

Josh Dugan

Ben Barba

Fullback - Canberra Raiders

Fullback - Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs

The Raiders speedster claimed man-of-the-match honours in last year's All Stars game, but after winning (and then losing) the NSW fullback jersey in 2011 he'll be keen to steal the show again this time around.

The nippy Bulldog was just about the toughest man to tackle in the NRL last season, scoring tries from anywhere and pulling off some of the most amazing finishes seen in the game. Does he have the edge on Dugan?

Benji Marshall

Johnathan Thurston

Halves - Wests Tigers

Halves - North Queensland Cowboys

The trans-Tasman battle resumes with the Kiwi skipper taking on his Aussie playmaking nemesis. Will Benji's flashy footwork and freakish flick-passes bring JT undone?

The best halfback in the game is switching to five-eighth this year, starting on Feb 4. With more space to move, will the Cowboys superstar be more dangerous than ever?

Manu Vatuvei

Nathan Merritt

Wing - New Zealand Warriors

Wing - South Sydney Rabbitohs

The man they call The Beast will be out to match his fearsome best after missing last year's All Stars game. Will the hard-running Warrior prove too tough to stop?

The rapid-moving Rabbitoh scored an NRL-high 23 tries last season, including five in a single game. Will he wreak havoc again against Manu's NRL All Stars?

Nathan Hindmarsh

Sam Thaiday

Forward - Parramatta Eels

Forward - Brisbane Broncos

The every-popular Eel will be representing the old blokes of the NRL in this one, but will no doubt still tackle himself to a standstill at 32. Has the Eels skipper got Thaiday's measure?

Brisbane's new captain in the wake of Darren Lockyer's retirement is big, powerful, and the star of the Indigenous All Stars forward pack. Does slammin' Sam pack too much punch for Hindmarsh?
