Grand final hero Scott Sattler believes the annual Indigenous All Stars will not go ahead due to the ongoing war between the NRL and the RLPA.

Speaking on SEN on Thursday morning, Sattler took aim at NRL administrators who may have underestimated the political power of RLPA boss Clint Newton.

“I’d be surprised if the All Stars game goes ahead to be honest,” Sattler said.

“The NRL have probably sat on their hands for too long on this and didn’t think that the players were that strong. V’landys and Abdo didn’t think that Clint Newton had the support that they thought he would (but) the support is gathering a lot more strength.

“I’d be surprised if that All Stars game goes ahead.”
