Sucks that there is no Rufer but it was unlikely with previous selections and the need to add in Sydney players.
A real shame they had to select the bulk of this team prior to the semi-finals... Rufer, Surman, Kostal all terribly unlucky and if you picked a squad today they'd all be there. I guess the Aussies don't want TOO many kiwis in the A-League All Stars.
A lot more reason to watch the All-Stars game now with those additions. What a fantastic time to shine for Paulsen & Old though. Reward for an excellent season. Great reward for all of them though to be fair.
After the season we've had, we're unlucky not to have 1-2 more in that list. Like someone else said - can't be having too many Kiwi's eh?
Gutted that Rufer wasn't included, but not surprised. I feel a lot of what he does doesn't get the recognition from those outside the club and fan base unfortunately.
Still, it's good to see we got 5 players, enough to get me tune in to the match

How do we tune into the game?
In Australia it's on Paramount+ and 10, and I thought it would be on Sky Sport in NZ but checking the tv schedules it looks like it isn't going to be? Maybe the All Stars games rights are sold separately to the rest of the league?

Worth contacting Sky to ask if they are screening it as I just did. At least this shows them that there is interest. Contact form here: https://help.sky.co.nz/s/email-us
This article says Sky is showing it, but I ain't seeing it on the schedule, but they are showing two old games between Wellington Perth and Wellington Adelaide.
Looks like Payne couldn't be bothered going over for the game?
Glad Kraev isn't starting, don't want him attracting interest, would prefer he stayed with the Nix
No Kosta, no Surman, no Payne? Wootton, Old and Kraev. The Newcastle team has Trippier, Hall and Anderson on the bench and that’s it for the regular first teamers in the PL. No one starting is a regular PL player.
Great work from Old in the buildup to the second goal but this is a farce. These Newcastle children don't care about this game and the all stars are far too good for them
