Indigenous players hope the war cry they are going to unveil before Friday night's All Stars match on the Gold Coast will eventually be adopted by Australian teams and performed before Test matches in a similar manner to the haka.

The players have been working on the war cry since last year's NRL indigenous players camp at the Hunter Valley and they used the 2015 camp on the Gold Coast last weekend to finalise the dance, which will represent all regions from which the All Stars team is drawn.

South Sydney superstar Greg Inglis will lead the war cry, along with Indigenous All Stars stalwarts Johnathan Thurston and George Rose, and the trio said after a two hour rehearsal on Sunday that they wanted it to be a legacy for future generations.

"We want to start a war cry that will be around for the next generation," Thurston said. "We are hoping that the eight year olds and the 10 year olds watching this game will see this dance that we are going to do and will aspire to being a part of it. We want the under 18s or under 16s to do it if they are playing overseas or whatever ... this is the dance that we are hoping will leave a legacy for future generations."
