Tiger Players and Members,


The NSW Rugby League’s annual #RESPECT Round will be held this weekend of 12-13 April, kicking off a month-long campaign. This year’s theme is POSITIVE WORDS HAVE POWER.


We would like to ask all Players and Members to take this pledge, and tell NSWRL in 25 powerful words or less, what using ‘Positive Words’ means to your Club.
