NRL: Mother's Day

Some of the biggest names in the Australian NRL hit TV screens in a different light this weekend as part of a special Mother’s Day commercial via MJW, Sydney - the first in the NRL's advertising history.

This 'ode to mums' pays tribute to the huge contribution that mothers make to the game of Rugby League and the role they play in developing some of Australia’s sporting greats.

The spot is designed to break down stereotypes and misconceptions. It shows a very different side to the men we see normally on the field.

Players such as Briath Anasta, Jared Warea Hargraves, Nathan Hindmarsh and legends Trent Barrett and Nigel Vagana recite a poem to their mums that is warm, heartfelt, funny and touching.
