ANZAC Day is the most important day on the calendar.
It is a day to remember the men and women who have fought and made the ultimate sacrifice to protect the freedom and liberties we all enjoy today.
Take the time to attend a Dawn Service or, continue with last year’s dawn candle light ceremony at the front yard/street of your home. If you see a returned service man or woman, take some time to say hello and thank you.
As you enjoy the weekend, please spare a thought for those who have made this possible.
Lest we forget.
ANZAC Round
This is my favourite round of the season.
All teams walking out shoulder to shoulder, brothers in arms, to the applause of the crowd.
Eight matches. Eight last posts, minute of silence, reveille, Australian and New Zealand national anthems.
No code does this better than the NRL.
This is the Game, Clubs, Players, Supporters and Returned Service Men and Women all coming together. This is the round of respect and positive energy.
The ANZAC Day clash between the Roosters and Dragons is the highlight club match of the season. The atmosphere is unlike any other game and is a must if you haven’t experienced this before.
Following this game, the Storm take on the Warriors, in Melbourne, in their traditional ANZAC Day clash.
And for the first time, ANZAC Day will kick-off with the Wests Tigers v Sea Eagles at 1:45pm.
Supporters of all clubs should take time to attend a match this weekend as all Clubs honour returned and fallen heroes.
