“The playing group are solid and understanding of each other’s views. As a club we will wear the jersey on Thursday night.” “We wish to apologize to the LGBTQ community who embrace the rainbow colors, who use these colors for pride and advocacy and human rights issues.” The NRL does not have a designated Pride round, but V’landys said it could be a consideration for future seasons.
The Sea Eagles are in ninth place in the NRL, one spot below the Roosters. The top eight teams qualify for the playoffs.Former Manly forward Ian Roberts, who in the 1990s was the first high-profile rugby league player to come out as gay, said he was not surprised by the players’ decision.
