This is well done. It’s filmed in a way that’s given players the confidence to take their time and pronounce their name clearly. Take special note of Hopoate. Often the names you’ve been hearing for generations are the hardest to correct, but this is how it is pronounced

Our 2024 NRL squad have provided all fans and media with the correct pronunciation of their names as well as their junior clubs for the 2024 season. #WeAreRaiders

Thanks to @JessMacartney24 and @IngoaProject for your input into this story. Following Multicultural Round we all have an opportunity to work on our pronunciation of player names. Read more on @ESPNAusNZ: espn.com.au/nrl/story/_/id/3…

Everyone deserves to have their name pronounced correctly

Whilst Multicultural Round might be over, there's plenty of opportunity for all of us to continue to make rugby league inclusive for all, no matter your cultural identity.

"That's how ___ is asking for it to be pronounced now." No. That's how it's ALWAYS been pronounced. You've just never bothered to double check and have been content in saying it wrong for years.

I have a bone to pick. Clubs literally put out videos on how to pronounce player names. Some commentators appear not to even attempt to try the right way. It doesn’t have to be perfect but to not even try seems extremely lazy to me.

The @IngoaProject classes should be compulsory for every commentator.

Hey ⁦@PenrithPanthers⁩ fans (and fans of pronunciation). We’re going with the Sāmoan pronunciation of Izack’s surname Tāgo from here. Doesn’t need a press release, or media moment. Just needs to be said 😊

It’s hard isn’t it Glen! I’ve been doing the wonderful @IngoaProject course over recent weeks and cannot recommend it enough in terms of building blocks for learning pronounciation.
