Anzac Day ceremonies

[Vlad59]

Just my opinion but it’s seems a bit incongruous to still have ceremonies two days after the day. Anzac Day eve and day yes. Not sure about after that.

I agree it should only be on the day.

But I’m not real worried about it, we’ve called it the Anzac Round and I guess more respectful ceremonies are ok.

I was more shocked that an Aussie sailor sang the NZ anthem at Allianz. I guess that was because the NZ Defence were represented in Auckland.
There was probably an agreement.

Noticed that. I remember a game a few years ago on a Saturday afternoon 3 days after Anzac Day with a small crowd present and the whole ceremony thing and it just looked and felt wrong.

Disagree. It's Anzac Round and I think we honour it well though I do take your point.

I just saw this thread and thought it would be about the quality of the different ceremonies.

I just wish every garrison town had a home game. NZ at home is a good start, but we need cowboys knights Canberra Brisbane and storm all at home imo to share the love and celebrate the day appropriately.

At least there stopped over doing the welcome to country.

Overdoing it? You mean at major events like Origin and the Grand Final?

Oh no! Imagine having to sit through something that takes less than 5 minutes that recognises our indigenous cultures.

2022 they done it every NRL game for a stint.

I went to heaps of games and they never did it.
And if they did, why would it matter? How does it impact you?

All good you like it, I don't.

I don't agree.
