New South Wales One Nation leader Mark Latham said ARL executives should not allow “players run the game” after the game’s board decided not to play the national anthem at this weekend’s All Star game.

He couldn’t even get the words of the Welcome to Country out, to his huge embarrassment on grand final night.”
