Tell them to move to Indonesia. ..they dont know how lucky they are in this free country.... Spoilt

Disgraceful

I would sit it out with them.

Omg seriously. How about you ask them why they didn’t instead of ridiculing them for their beliefs. Go on do it

Most. Good on em

I don’t blame them. Australia is NOT fair to all! Unless you’re a bigwig millionaire you have to fight for a fair go.

Change: • the date • National Anthem • constitution • western culture • border security • masculinity It will never stop! Feminists, Marxists, anarchists, radical left activists & agitators have an agenda of anger & resentment! Time to say no to this destructive agenda!

Ok ok we will bring back God save the Queen.

We are offended by the song now are we, Jesus give it a spell on the outrage and just get on with it.

Respect? Seems to be selective - poor form

Is singing that dirge compulsory?

No one knows the lyrics anyway

good it's shit anyway.

What about this delightful verse

Don’t know what the fuss is all about. I’ve never seen a whole side of AFL players singing along in any grand final ever. Just saying.

Sing it,don’t sing who gives a fuck, very few do sing it anyway

Good on them, it's absolute dross. I didn't vote for it when it was put to the poll & I never stand for it either. They have my support.

SeanBradbery Happens at every game. Why the hoopla about an Indigenous game?

Nothing surprising here. They hate Australia and everyone in it.

Reporter: How do you feel the team performed out there today? League player: ummm derp it's a game of too harvs and da boyz weally put in yeah

They choose that they don't want to sing anthem but want an alternative anthem that we must all be forced to sing.

As is their right,as everybody. bullyforthem SBSNews

Oh yeah, I remember rugby - those were the days.

What does 'Fair' mean, is it like a carnival or fete? Are Aboriginals invited or do they do Work For The Dole cleaning there? Hmm..

Good on you

And I still don’t care what a NRL player does

Hypocrites

I understand why. But would they play for Australia? Or for the State they live in?

So what?

Respect goes both ways!

Very Australian. Proud of those guys.

What’s the Centrelink anthem? Maybe they would stand for that.

Farcical game where the players are chosen by race. Totally racist concept.

Don’t represent Australia!

Deport them , they are not Australian

Unfortunately some indigenous people don't see themselves as Australian or have any inclination to assimilate.. Unfortunately its just the way it is..

Well done to these players. It takes courage to stand up for what is right.

I’ll never sing or stand for that anthem

Then don’t play

Fair enough.

NRL makes stand on domestic violence, but history means scepticism is warrantedIn effectively banning Ben Barba from ever returning to its competition, the NRL has sent a clear message to abusive players. But given its history on such matters, can it be trusted? Well if it isn't Mr Anti Rugby League with another anti rugby league article Perhaps when coaches and team player /leadership groups make the call.... = real change. But I thought there will always a home for these type of players at St George, Sydney Roosters, and sometimes Cronulla.
