where it's due
The NRL has distanced itself from a provocative fund-raising calendar that reveals a glimpse of Penrith winger Nick Youngquest's genitals.
The Naked Rugby League calendar was released in Sydney today, with sales to help raise funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Some of the NRL's biggest stars, including Australian Test representatives Johnathan Thurston and Justin Hodges, are photographed nude in the publication, which is being marketed as the "most provocative calendar ever released by an Australian football code".
