For those complaining about the term Commmemorative Jersey - Dragons among others are doing the exact same.

That could easily be an Aussie in France in 1917/1918 as at least it looks quite feasable instead of the Rambo like one our dopes made.I respect all soldiers who fight for their country as i am sure most of them are fighting in the belief of protecting their families and countrymen but an ANZAC jersey should look appropriate for the occasion and ours did not
 
I am a 35 year veteran and questioned the design when I first saw it; however, when the club stated that they had engaged with Army and mentioned Holsworthy, I was OK with it as I assumed that the images were of special forces soldiers using non standard equipment. Not the route I would have taken; however, I also assumed that it was approved by Defence PR.

ANZAC Day for a returned sailor, soldier or airman/women is personal. The personal emotion reflects their deployed experiences. Some experience loss, grief and detachment - others not so much. Soldiers don't expect the public to understand, nor do they seek recognition for their service or glorification of the events that they experienced. It is simply about a bond with fellow service personnel; both living and dead.

To find that WT have blatantly lied about this incident is, to me, beyond appalling. It may not be that way for you and that is OK. That is the right you have because of the sacrifice of others.

The ANZAC tradition is about loyalty, courage, sacrifice and mateship. Our CEO and Chairman have demonstrated by their actions that they seriously lack loyalty to the players, club and fans, moral courage and do not have the intestinal fortitude to make the hard right decision. They have demonstrated an ineptness in handling this matter that is beyond belief.

Will our CEO, Chairman or the board have the courage to do the right thing?
Thank you @Jolls for your Service!
 
If this jerseygate ends up being the final nail in Pascoe's career at WT's, they wont be able to keep up with production. I'll 100% buy one.
 
Well that's entirely different if it's true. I'm a skeptic about Fox, we'll have to see if it's corroborated, because Paul Kent and basically everyone on that show are also liars.

I don't care if they use some generic photo on the jersey, that's not a crime. To lie about the Holsworthy Barracks or ADF involvement, if true, is far far worse. Mistakes and lies are on two entirely different levels.
It's 'sceptic'. 👍
