This years design was truly inspired in honour of Australia, “The design I have chosen gives a nod to our Australian national flower, the Golden Wattle
and includes yellow sapphires. This is the first time these stones have been used and I know the players will wear these rings with pride.” Prime Minister Albanese said.

“The design he has chosen is truly unique. The ring has player numbers engraved on one side and on the opposing side it has a kangaroo and emu. The inclusion of these native animals represents an admired virtue of rugby league players of never taking a backward step.”
