Yes, I appreciate the comment.
The significance of the Indigenous round goes beyond the game itself. It’s a powerful reminder of the cultural heritage and history that we are all part of. The special Aboriginal jersey and the ceremony by the Terrace Barrambin students add a layer of depth and meaning to the event. It's a fantastic opportunity to honor and recognize the contributions of Indigenous players, like Nate Wines, who bring strength and pride to their teams.
Nate’s return from injury and his debut as a starting blindside flanker is a story of resilience and determination. His journey from the Gold Coast hinterland to this moment is inspiring, and it’s heartening to see the support from his community. Watching him perform, especially in this significant round, will undoubtedly be a highlight. Here’s hoping he gets that try and celebrates with a shake-a-leg, bringing the crowd to its feet!
Good luck to both GT and ACGS, this will be a special round for all.
