This is another point of conflict between the Sydney Roosters and South Sydney Rabbitohs, who meet in the opening game of the opening round on March 7th. Roosters boss Nick Polites likes cheerleaders. South Sydney boss Russell Crowe is against them, describing them as "sexist." (However note that Rusty is an apologist for a criminal gang called the Bra Boys, about whom he has produced and directed a documentary film).
So at the opening game The Roosters cheerleaders will be competing with the Rabbitohs boring drum unit.
