Wallabies and New Zealand showed on Saturday night the spirit on how the game should be played. It was televised to each RU nation that every member of both teams embraced the National Anthem. No race or religion,just good old belting the tune out. What did the NRL deliver yesterday. A fraction of each team weakly sang the Anthem, and most did not bother at all, and that is down to Administration of the V'Landys and Abdo game. Race,religion and politics are now a feature of the NRL product along with the man bags,eye liner and brows. And what about the disastrous Swims half time debacle:

Pay that LOL..... I can imagine you have sorted out a few Pearl Jam's Randolph.
That it wasnt some washed up 80s rock band. If they want to market the game big, appeal to new eyes and try to capture the largest audience, you need a big name performer. Teddy Smith is one of the current trending acts, makes sense to hire him. This is in relations to pre-game entertainment. Of course, the product and main attraction is the game at hand.
Agreed on the washed up 80's bullshit. But Swimmy is just another rejectee from Americas Got Taletz. Like Shannon Noll, but one who overcompensates by getting face tatts and covering an iconic Aussie hard rock song with some hired guns for a band. Dreck. Angus would rather punch Swims right in the cunt than appear on-stage with him
Trending likes of this type of overhyped smegma is often driven by teenage girls, like the old charts used to be.
Australian Music should be supported at events like this....and it's a more appropriate place to call for "Patriotism" than the anthem Alan Kay
I will add that Teddy boy probs played this gig for mass exposure to the Aust "middle of the road" market. Expenses plus a bit. That exposure should be used for our Artists, not some yank with nothing special to offer.
Agreed there, but that's probably not for the NRL to make a call about supporting local acts. Mind you, the State Government should have been pushing for support of a local act, that's their job to support and promote home grown industries that have wide public benefits and appeal.
Fair Call Longfin.
The biggest problem was there NO cheerleaders doing their thing!
Let's see you take a full speed collision from one of the NRL players who has "man bags, eye liner and brows" and see who comes out on top in the manliness chart...
It's a game, they're players. The biggest injury most of us will get is RSI from being keyboard warriors on the internet. The only one politicising this stuff are people with deep personal insecurities. Wait till you find out that they have a shared changeroom with each other...
Yeah don't let all nail polish on Walsh fool you, he's an absolute weapon lol
and I bet that he got his nails done by the hottest chick you ever did see....and that she was slutty about it.
This MAN-EY MAN MAN MAAAN bullshit is crazy and a bit Gay in itself
