100 Years of Rugby League

One of the great milestones in Australian sport is being celebrated at New Holland Publishers with the release of 100 Years of Rugby League.

This leather-bound two volume set is the ultimate year-by-year guide to the history of the game, from its beginnings to the most recent NRL Premiership win by the Melbourne Storm.

100 Years of Rugby League - written by respected rugby league authors Ian Collis and Alan Whiticker (The History of Rugby League Clubs) - tracks each season’s most dramatic and memorable games and events, the final ladder and the finals series. There is also coverage of international matches as well as a variety of memorabilia and statistics.

With informative text and dazzling photos, 100 Years of Rugby will bring back many memories of lazy afternoons at the game as well as becoming a valuable reference book for all rugby league fans.

Volume I: 1907-1966
The first 60 years of the game.

Volume II: 1967-2007
The start of the ‘limited tackle’ era; the arrival of colour television and much more.
