The Harvey Norman National Championships was deemed an overwhelming success in Redcliffe last week but it is the players and strength and conditioning coaches across Australia who will particularly benefit in the long term.
The NRL is seeking to improve the lives of Indigenous and Torres Strait Island people, by leveraging our reach and influence to educate and improve understanding of Indigenous culture and issues among non-Indigenous Australians.
Whether it’s the scoreline, metres gained, or the length of a field goal, rugby league is a game driven by numbers.
Let’s reframe the numbers synonymous with our game, to help educate non-Indigenous Australians about the challenges faced by many Indigenous & Torres Strait islanders, and importantly, what the rugby league community is doing to help address them.
The NRL is working hard to help, particularly in the areas of education and employment.
Gold Coast captain Jamal Fogarty has first-hand knowledge of why it is important for the NRL to promote statistics about Indigenous education and employment during this weekend’s Indigenous Round.
Fogarty, who was a youth worker before reviving his NRL career with the Titans last year, has been involved with the Indigenous community in Beaudesert and estimates only a small percentage of students will attain their HSC.
“At the moment they have got 180 Indigenous students attending the local high school and we have got between 15 and 25 on track to complete Year 12,” Fogarty said.
“As an NRL player if I can play a small part to get one or two kids to stay at school then hopefully that goes a long way to giving them something to do to give back when they are older too.”
The Brisbane Broncos have welcomed the Federal Government’s ongoing commitment to supporting the Beyond the Broncos Girls Academy – a program achieving outstanding results for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander girls.

One aspect of the transportation industry still stubbornly against digital transformation is insurance. To acquire insurance, carriers often endure a traditional procurement cycle that requires extensive back and forth for providing loss runs. Partly because of the 300% spike in nuclear verdicts, insurance rates for small fleets have doubled over the past few years.
On Friday s episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, Scott Prince, CEO of trucking insurance-tech company CarrierHQ, shared how his company is modernizing the whole insurance process to help smaller carriers with one to 20 trucks, a segment that makes up 97% of America s trucking industry. Our small fleet program we co-developed with Aon is the trucking industry s first small-fleet, safe-driving adjustable-rate trucking insurance where if you drive safely, your rates could go down up to 30% monthly in-term, said Prince. We also offer qualifying customers a no-money-down insurance option.
