"Our
Kangaroos"
Sean
Fagan of RL1908.com
 "On
rugby league fields at home and afar, the 13 men who wear the gum
green and wattle gold jerseys of the Australian Kangaroos, have
covered themselves in glory."
"Since
1908, this blend of NSW Blues and Queensland Maroons have shaped
the most formidable combinations, defeating the best of Britain,
New Zealand and France."
"In
276 Test matches, 175 victories - a remarkable achievement."
"The
few who have been given the honour of representing Australia, with
full heart and desire, have built a rich and proud Kangaroo tradition.
Hard-tackling and powerful forwards, matched by fleet-footed backs
- from Messenger, McKivat, Burge and Horder, to Gasnier, Raper and
Langlands, to the stars of today, Johns, Lockyer and Webcke."
"Providing
countless captivating moments, the Kangaroos play with a style full
of thrill and sensation that displays the very essence of the League
game."
"Built
on the notion of 'Australia first', rugby league's 'Pioneers' emblazoned
their jerseys with the insignia of our country - The Kangaroo. With
a mix of strategy, speed, and a vigorous will to win, the Kangaroos
embody what it means to be Australian."
