Paul Gallen has delivered a passionate message amid Manly's pride jersey fiasco in the lead-up to their clash with the Roosters.
"I don't know why they had to go the extra step and wear the rainbow jersey or the pride jersey. I mean, it's 2022. I think everyone accepts that there are different people in life, people have different beliefs. I don't know why they wanted to promote this, to be honest ... I don't think it's the right thing to do.
One man in a unique position to comment on the relationship between a club's football and non-football operations, and a mix of cultural and religious backgrounds in that environment, is Phil Gould. "This is a misunderstanding from someone far removed from the football operation, in marketing and promotion and other things that they do, not understanding the cultural beliefs of some of their players," Gould said.
