Four Bulldogs have been selected for the 2025 All Stars matches, with Josh Curran, Kurtis Morrin, Pauline Suli-Ruka and Ashleigh Quinlan set to proudly represent their families and heritage on Saturday, February 15 at CommBank Stadium.
Curran, a proud Darug man, has been selected to make his fourth All Stars appearance, and second as a Bulldog, after featuring in the Indigenous All Star’s 22-14 victory. The headgear-clad forward will be a key figure in the forward pack for his side.
Morrin, a Moorebank Rams junior from the Ngāti Porou iwi, has been slated to make his All Stars debut. The 24-year-old has become a Bulldogs fan favourite with 38 NRL appearances to his name since his debut in 2022.
Suli-Ruka made history by becoming the first player to progress from the Bulldogs Academy to the Club’s inaugural NRLW side. Co-Captain of the Tarsha Gale Cup side, the youngster is set to make her senior representative debut for the Māori All Stars.
Quinlan, one of the first signings for the Bulldogs NRLW squad, is a New Zealand Ferns representative and a proud Ngāti Tūwharetoa woman. A commanding half, Quinlan has been named to play her third All Stars match for the New Zealand Māori.
The Bulldogs would like to congratulate all four players and wish them the best of luck in their respective matches.
