The tour provides an opportunity for regional kids to have the chance to meet starts of the NRL before the season kicks off, as the players visit schools meeting the children and conduct clinics.
The tour is a fantastic way for our players to say thank you to local communities for their support of rugby league.
- Jaymes Boland-Rudder
NRL Head of Government and Community Relations Jaymes Boland-Rudder says ‘Road to Regions’ also allows the players to promote positive education and well-being to such communities.
“The tour is a fantastic way for our players to say thank you to local communities for their support of rugby league, as well as an opportunity to impart important education messages around respect, positive mental well-being and empowering one another,” Mr Boland-Rudder said.
“Many of our players hail from regional and rural parts of Australia and enjoy nothing more than hitting the road to return to regions that helped shape them to become the players they are today.”
