ARLC Chairman Peter V’landys said: “Our decision not to play the anthem was never about politics. We have always been committed to the anthem as shown at the grand final last weekend.
“The original decision not to play the anthem at Origin was about the rivalry and tribalism associated with the Origin series. “However, having listened to the public response and given the strong national unity in fighting the COVID pandemic together, the commission has decided it is important to ensure that unity continues.
“We have always been a commission that listens to our fans. We have heard the message and acted accordingly.”
He’s a total fuckwit anyways... it’s almost been a week and still can’t get that image of his ugly head shattered on the podium as the storm raised the trophy once again... priceless
Whoops damage has already been done, trying to please the agenda seekers
Please Peter, dont let wokenism infiltrate the game.
What a goose. His original decision was spot on. The anthem at an interstate match is farcical. Embarrassing. Its embarrassing enough when the poor players have to sing that silly song in front of the All Blacks but before an interstate match it is totally inappropriate.
The fact they even considered scrapping the National Anthem in the first place is a wokejoke. They should be embarrassed & ashamed.
“Overwhelming backlash.” A Sharks supporter who should be running the country had a whinge

PM tackles the NRL over Origin national anthem and forces a turnoverThe NRL attempted to swing the ball wide to skirt controversy - but just ended up turned around by none other than the Prime Minister. Peter_Fitz If people feel so strongly opposed to our national anthem, maybe they should look around the world for one they do like, and move to that country. Peter_Fitz I remember having to stand for the national anthem every time we went to the flicks. Silly then, silly now.
