Never before has the game been covered in such comprehensive, year-by-year detail. The book includes not just the story of the first 100 years of the Sydney (now NRL) premiership, but also the many great competitions that have been staged across Australia. As well, the often controversial and always colourful history of matches between Queensland and New South Wales are featured, from the inaugural game in 1908 to the State of Origin battles of today. And Australia's pivotal place in international rugby league - most notably in epic Test matches against Great Britain, on Kangaroo tours of England and France, and in World Cup, World Series and Tri-Series tournaments - is celebrated in word and picture. Australian rugby league's 100 greatest players of all time - from Dally Messenger to Darren Lockyer, as chosen by the ARL especially for the centenary year - are revealed and profiled in the book. And special sections highlight all the famous matches, controversies and incidents that have made league's history so colourful over the last century.

Journalist Steve Mascord covered the Super League War for the Sydney Morning Herald and on the 25th anniversary of the divided season has interviewed more than 100 others who lived through it - from Ken Arthurson and John Ribot to Newcastle Knights ballboy Michael Maher - bringing you the absolute definitive story of rugby's Second Great Schism.

Download or read book Only in Australia written by William Coleman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-06-17 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume is about the Australian difference and how Australia's economic and social policy has diverged from the approach of other countries. Australia seems to be following a 'special path' of its own that it laid down more than a century ago. Australia's distinctive bent is manifested in a tightly regulated labour market; a heavy reliance on means testing and income taxation; a geographical centralization of political power combined with its dispersal amongst autonomous authorities, and electoral singularities such as compulsory and preferential voting. In seeking to explain this Australian Exceptionalism, the book covers a diverse range of issues: the strength and weakness of religion, democratic and undemocratic tendencies, the poverty of public debate, the role of elites, the exploitation of Australian sports stars, the politics of railways, the backwardness of agriculture, deviation from the Westminster system, the original encounter between European and Aboriginal cultures, and the heavy taxation of tobacco. Bringing together contributions from economists, economic historians, and political scientists, the volume seeks to understand why Australia is different. It offers a range of explanations from the 'historical legacy', to material factors, historical chance, and personalities.

Download or read book The Kiwis written by John Coffey and published by Hachette Book Group USA. This book was released on 2007 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1907 a New Zealand team launched international rugby league by touring Australia, Britain, and Australia (again) against a backdrop of life bans from an outraged rugby union and the tragic death of its young organiser. Since then the Kiwis have played more than 100 test matches each against traditional rivals Australia and Great Britain, have had a 50-year rivalry with France, and competed in World Cup tournaments since 1954. There have been disastrous tours, such as that in 1926-27 when seven forwards went on strike in England and were banned for life, and triumphant ones, such as when the 1971 Grand Slam Kiwis beat Australia, Britain, and France all in one year. Similarly, there have been many momentous matches at home against the Kangaroos, Lions, and French touring teams. Most of the stories have never been told before. For example, the 1912 New Zealand team refused to come home from Australia until it was given time for an end-of-tour party! For 90 of those years the Kiwis were amateurs battling against overseas professionals. The book being prepared to coincide with the centenary in 2007 will include an introduction, 10 sections covering each of the 10 decades, extensive statistics, and many illustrations.
