Game Day Theme: ANZAC Day
Courage, endurance, initiative, discipline, and mateship. Such spirit and qualities also underpin our game and align to our own beliefs and behaviours.
Rugby League has always existed to transform individuals and communities for the better and ANZAC Round is an important vehicle to tell some of these stories and highlight the contributions the Rugby League family has made to the military over time.
In Round Eight of the Telstra Premiership, the game will have the opportunity to honour and commemorate the generations of Australian servicemen and women who have defended our values and freedoms, in wars, conflicts and peace operations.
