Like it or not NRL players by and large (especially the polynesian folk) are hugely religious and this was never going to fly.
There was a way better way to do this but when you leave out your most vital component (the highly paid front facing labour) then youve made a massive mistake.
and us sockah folk better not be too loud about it, there are a lot of clubs in certain demographics that aint wearing those colours either. We (so far) have been smart enough to read the tea leaves before opening our traps.
No one's head will roll, they've already completely sold out the jersey, and could have sold a tonne more if they wanted. There's talks underway for a pride round next year, with some high profile players already giving their approval. PLUS everyone has now completely forgotten about the tigers game.


Unfortunately, it's been a massive win for the NRL and a big loss for the bigots crawling out from the shadows yet again.
