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:

Intrusive thoughts of Kate's Bush?
Yes Please!....imagine the wild notes notes she'd hold while you rummaged around in that thing.
It is a club game after all, why should someone like Jerome Hughes sing the national anthem? Thats one example, countless players. Say they were born in England, why should they sing the national anthem. Your logic is pretty flawed, about the other garbage you mentioned, everything in life is influenced by politics, religion and race.
Most people complaining about the pre-game entertainment are people who would want to hear a metal band belt out a set, but in reality, looking at the bands from the 80s they all embraced make up, nail polish and weird culture. The double standards from us Aussies can sometimes be ridiculous.
My problem with the pregame is that the act was not Australian. It's modern cultural cringe.
What are others sooking about?
My problem with it all is that Parra wasn't playing in it.
urrrrgh
Who do you roll out though? Who is a new "rev up" band/act? The Chats? Psychedelic Porn Crumpets?
Most acts people suggest are geriatrics or close to it.
Flume, Presets, Amyl, Hilltop Hoods, Veronicas, Jet, Kylie, Missy Piggins, Sia, Nick Cave, Angels or I would go with Mammal.
Porn Crumpets.....???
Ya' cover 'em in Pearl Jam
