The NRL will celebrate Indigenous Round this weekend, highlighting the significant contribution that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people make in Rugby League, both on and off field.
Throughout the round, the NRL will promote its partnership with RECOGNISE, the people’s movement to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the Australian Constitution and ensure there’s no place in it for racial discrimination.
Be there when Storm take on the Titans in Round 22, Sunday 9 August at AAMI Park! Tickets here.
In support of the cause, all ‘zeroes’ on 40-metre lines at matches will be transformed into the RECOGNISE symbol.
Storm Centre Will Chambers spoke to Storm TV earlier in the week and explained what Indigenous Round meant to him.
"It's very important to myself, obviously the heritage, culture and it's something I continue to learn about," Chambers said.
"It's great for the game to take the initiative. I was a part of the All Stars weekend which was another great step."
