Raiders plan Aboriginal tribute

CANBERRA Raiders will wear special Aboriginal jumpers in the club's round-24 match against the Sydney Roosters in late August at Canberra Stadium.
The predominantly black uniform will replace the team's traditional lime green for one day, and has been approved by the NRL.
The Raiders community relations manager and former grand final hero Paul Osborne has revealed why his club is planning to pay tribute to Aboriginal players and supporters.
"Over the past two years we have worked with the indigenous community," Osborne said yesterday. "This day will recognise their commitment to us - and now we want to take things to a new level.
"And we shouldn't forget that our first-ever captain was Aboriginal - David Grant.
"This will send a message to young indigenous people that they can achieve something."
On the same day the Raiders will also announce their all-time greatest Aboriginal side - dating back to the club's inception in 1982.
"We have a long history of Aboriginal players such as John Ferguson, Mal Meninga, Laurie Daley, Ken Nagas, Sam Backo ... the list goes on," Osborne said.
"It should be a great day and the NRL have been very supportive."
The special jumper will have yellow, white and red stripes and will carry the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islands flags.
The NRL's chief executive David Gallop last night applauded the move by the Raiders.
"It is a great initiative," Gallop said.
"It is a sign of how serious the Raiders are about helping the local community."
