#RLPA #NRL #MulticulturalRound

7% isn’t just a number*, it’s people and the RLPA will continue to advocate on behalf of our members for fairness and respect.

There is no place for racism anywhere.

*Statistics from our 2025 Players’ Pulse, our annual survey of over 800 NRL and NRLW players.

Today is International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, a battle that is still ongoing, even for our NRL and NRLW players.

From where you come from to who you represent, Multicultural Round is about celebrating identity, pride and the stories that help shape our game 👏

What family and culture means 🙌

“On behalf of the RLPA, we congratulate Matt on his career and thank him for his contribution to the game. We now look forward to welcoming him into our Past Player & Transition Program and supporting him as he begins the next chapter of his journey.”

“Matt should also be proud of the way he has prepared for life after rugby league. He understood early that playing doesn’t last forever and has put in the work away from the field to give himself every opportunity to succeed in the next chapter.”

“Having first worked with Matt at the Wests Tigers and then again at Penrith, I’ve seen firsthand the qualities that made him such a valued teammate: team-first, reliable, tough and dependable. He is the type of player coaches trust and teammates love playing alongside.”

“‘Eiso’ has earned enormous respect across the game for the way he has approached his career.”

“I would like to congratulate Matt Eisenhuth on his incredible rugby league career after announcing his retirement,” said Joe Galuvao, Player Transition Manager at the RLPA.

We stand together in support for fair and equal health and wellbeing outcomes for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and remain committed to listening, learning and taking meaningful action through our Reconciliation Action Plan.
