NRL Indigenous Round on Nine

NRL on Nine will celebrate First Nations communities this week with the Indigenous Round from tonight, May 23 at 7.30pm.

First up, freakishly fast Indigenous All Stars Josh Addo-Carr and Tyrell Sloan will feature on Thursday Night Football when the Bulldogs host the Dragons.

Friday Night Footy is live from the home of the Garigal People, 4 Pines Park, where the deep-running rivalry between the Manly Sea Eagles and Melbourne Storm is ready to come to the fore once again.

Storm legend Billy Slater will offer his commentary on the game from the venue, only on Channel 9, just days before he makes his final selections for the Queensland State of Origin team. Indigenous NRL legends Johnathan Thurston and Sam Thaiday also join the coverage to champion their proud heritage.

Nine’s Wide World of Sports will have exclusive access to the winning dressing rooms after the game.

The NRL Sunday Footy Show is live from 11.00am, before Sunday Arvo Footy at 3.00pm.

The NRL is calling on all fans to learn about the rich tapestry of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures in this week of celebrating their remarkable achievements on and off the field. It is also an opportunity to connect with Australians and New Zealanders of diverse races and backgrounds, fostering the power of unity. Learn more by visiting NRL.com/Indigenous.
