THE HISTORY OF RUGBY LEAGUE CLUBS is the most important book published on the game in the last decade. Written by Ian Collis and Alan Whiticker, this book takes a look at almost a century of rugby league in Australia through the clubs' eyes. The history of each club that has ever competed in the premier rugby league competition, which was first called the New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL) and now the National Rugby League (NRL) is covered. With commentary ranging from foundation clubs South Sydney and the Sydney Roosters (formerly Eastern Suburbs) and defunct clubs Glebe and Annandale, to the short-lived Adelaide Rams and the newly formed joint venture clubs St George Illawarra and West Tigers, each chapter also contains club records and timelines outlined in an easy to read format. Updated with many new photographs as well as many never before published, The History of Rugby League Clubs is essential reading for every ruby league fan.
