OK just noticing the teams today and more specifically the souths team and in particular their backline or "blackline" so to speak.
Look at our backline.
1. Peachey (Aboriginal)
2. Merritt (Aboriginal)
3. Vagana (Kiwi)
4. Hegarty (Aboriginal)
5. Gordon (Aboriginal)
6. Smith (Kiwi)
7. Williams (Aboriginal-Yes I know he is whiter)
Know I want to know is this the first genuine "blackline" in the NRL or top level rugby league (I'm thinking warriors might have done it before)? Frank Curry coined the term a decade ago but he had a few "honkeys" so too speak. (I hope I haven't offended anyone with that comment- it is done in humour. NOTE I thought I'd apologise as in this PC world almost anything is misconstrued as being racist) I personally think it is fantastic that we have such a diversity in rugby league these days where this is possible.
Looking at the rest of the team we also have Asotasi, Fa'alogo and Galuvao as aother Kiwis and Widders as another Aboriginal- quite the mix we have there.;-)
