Hi Nat, I think he is referring to the KARI (Indigenous Support Services) jersey sponsorship, ground advertising and give aways. I could be wrong though.

National anthem won't be played at NRL All Stars match

For what I understand the Sharkies are not only attempting to free up some cap space but also to promote a positive culture and believe that Dugan and Fifita hinder that process.
From personal observation, Dugan may have played 23 games last year, but rarely finished. To be brutally honest he reminds me of a kid you see playing park footy who always stays down after each run or tackle,every run or tackle.
I also noted that some readers raved about his stats, I saw that these stats were taken off the NRL website. On that same page it had stats about his passing receipts (425) but no passes on, they also seemed a bit skinny on line break assist, it did mention two try assist, but from memory one of them was when he played the ball to Brailey who scooted over from dummy half.

Dugan slams fitness story

I for one love our anthem. A national anthem is an expression of national values and national identity, pure and simple. Now Advance Australian Fair may not be the catchiest tune, but at its core it does reflect us, it acknowledges this amazing land, it encourages the benefits of hard work, it welcomes immigration and it obliges us all to share this land.
By refusing to play our national anthem at a major Australian sporting event, sponsored by a tax payers funded organization due to the “identity politics” (new term to me) of a minority of players, is not only weak, but a slap in the face to the idea that we are all equal.
I respect the players right to protest, but believe it should be done through unity not as a separatist action.
