It's the best week Corey Harawira-Naera's had during his career and he's hoping it will launch him into a big season with the Green Machine.
The 27-year-old was one of four Canberra Raiders named in the NRL All Star Squads on Wednesday, with Joe Tapine and Jordan Rapana joining Harawira-Naera in the Maori squad and Jack Wighton named in the Indigenous one.
Tapine, Rapana and Wighton only started their pre-seasons in the New Year, with Harawira-Naera predicting it might take them the opening rounds of the NRL season to find their feet after lengthy World Cup campaigns at the end of 2022.
