What's the article about?
I don't subscribe to the Telegraph.

Neither do I. I found it somewhere else.

CANBERRA Raiders fans have been given the NRL’s blessing to repeat their passionate pre-game Viking Clap during the finals.

The NRL takes complete control of all game-day content during the finals.

But they found it in their hearts this week to allow the Canberra faithful to persist with their pre-match ritual, which was inspired by the Icelandic football supporters at the European Championships.

More than 18,000 Canberra fans raised their arms in the air and clapped above their heads in wonderful scenes before the Parramatta victory.

How good would those scenes look on a sunny Sunday afternoon in the nation’s capital if they clinch a top-two berth?

There is a hint of sarcasm by whoever wrote that from the Telecrap.

I bet that the NRL never even considered "banning" it.

More like some knob ringing the NRL and asking if they have any objection to it.

No, says the NRL.

The NRL are still a joke, though.

What next? The NRL will decide how many shakes are allowed when finishing up at the urinal?

Pretty sure that's been sorted.

Spot on, Gronk.

It is an article designed to get the exact reaction that we have seen in this thread.

Yattarna is back and is running in the Sheraco Stakes this Saturday at Rosehill. Tough field so will be at big odds...for those that like a roughie.
