We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
Jack Wighton has seen the ugly side of rugby league fandom and has no regrets about how he dealt with it.
It was nearly four weeks ago that the 30-year-old's move to South Sydney was confirmed.
Starting next year Wighton will don the green and red for four seasons, leaving behind half a life spent playing with the Raiders from his teens to now.
It was a revelation that made an already proud Sebastian Kris even prouder.
The fact an almost entirely Indigenous spine will steer the Green Machine around the park against the Manly Sea Eagles for Indigenous Round at Canberra Stadium on Sunday.
With Kris at fullback, and Jamal Fogarty and Jack Wighton in the halves, it's only at hooker where the Raiders will field a non-Indigenous player in their spine.
One of Australia's leading experts on the Voice to Parliament referendum backs Canberra Raiders stars Jack Wighton and Jamal Fogarty's decision to educate themselves before talking publicly on the issue.
And Katrina Fanning even said she planned, along with ARL commissioner Megan Davis, to visit clubs and talk to anyone who wanted them to.
Fanning's not only on the Raiders board, but she's on the federal government's referendum engagement group making both her and Davis perfectly placed to help educate any NRL players who wanted to know more about the Voice.
