Eight Wests Tigers players will wear specially-painted boots in Round 12 as the club helps celebrate the NRL's Indigenous Round.
The boots have been painted by young indigenous artists throughout New South Wales in conjunction with Cultural Choice Association.
Wests Tigers are proud to have once again partnered with with Cultural Choice Association, which seeks to raise awareness and support the prevention of Aboriginal and Torres Strait youth suicide and its related causes in Australia.
The boots — which will all be available for auction following Friday's game — have been specifically designed with the player who will wear the boots in mind, and carry intertwined elements of the artist's own story as well.
