And for us to play a small part in that on Anzac Day night is very special.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (22.04.26)

We've had this game since 2009 and we've played a couple of different opponents.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (22.04.26)

most recently we've been playing against the Rabbitohs and it's just one of those really special occasions whether you're across the road at the MCG on Anzac Eve or you know you're at the MCG on Anzac Day or then you come across to Amy Park to watch the storm you know they're all very important moments of reflection for our country and you know we're very honoured and privileged to play a small part in that and you know we continue to do that across this week and into the game on Saturday night with various different events and functions and

whether it be through our jersey and the Rats of Tobruk this year or, you know, we've got Jeff Jackson speaking at a club lunch today.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (22.04.26)

All of these sorts of things are really important in the build-up in terms of education, not just for fans and for, you know, the broader public, but also for our staff and our people internally at the club because we truly do recognise just how important it is and the acknowledgement that we should and that's very special.

Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (22.04.26)

Well, it's a very good-looking jersey, first and foremost, but the Rats of Tobruk is just such a famous legend of Australian wartime.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (22.04.26)

So, you know, the design really does mark the 85th anniversary of the Siege of Tobruk, which was back in 1941, and it's got a custom chest and back pattern, you know, and it's got the famous...

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (22.04.26)

famous quote from Leslie Moorhead where he talks about there is to be no surrender and no retreat and it's just such a shocking reminder sometimes about just how brutal war would have been and how

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (22.04.26)

Unbelievable that experience would have been for those men and women that served.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (22.04.26)

It's just frightening to think about what they went through.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (22.04.26)

So, yeah, this is our way of acknowledging and recognising the wrath of Tabook and I think the Jersey really does a great job of doing that.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (22.04.26)

Yeah, I don't think it does.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (22.04.26)

I mean, it was always a nice fit with the Warriors, obviously, being Anzac.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (22.04.26)

But in saying that, I think that the NRLs,

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (22.04.26)

Rightly so, it's said that the Warriors should play in New Zealand on Anzac Day.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (22.04.26)

So the Rabideaus are very keen to continue this as a traditional fixture with us.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (22.04.26)

So, yeah, they're a great club to...

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (22.04.26)

to have on Anzac Day each year.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (22.04.26)

They're a big club and obviously they always draw a big crowd.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (22.04.26)

So I don't think it matters who it is.
