Pride of the League

Since the 1930s, the South Sydney Rabbitohs have been developing Indigenous players and introducing them to A grade football, even during a time when Indigenous people weren't recognised as citizens in Australia. The South Sydney Leagues Club's success with Indigenous players has inspired other national Rugby League clubs to look at ways of mirroring their recruitment programs for Indigenous players and ways of working closely with the Indigenous community in other social ventures. This program explores the past and present interaction the club has in South Sydney and the recognition in 2007 of their Indigenous heritage through the use of the 'black' bunny for away games.
