Recenzii

""This wonderful addition to the library of rugby league will be welcomed by many fans. Will Evans has gone out of his way to collate a vast amount of material in one title, with chapters covering international rugby league, representative football and the premier club competition in Australia - whether under the guise of the current NRL or former NSWRL. Of particular note are the chapters highlighting, year by year, the great players, club achievements and major events in the Australian game. Covering everything from tragic figures to cult heroes. A handy and well documented collection of summaries that bring much of the 105 year old history of Australian rugby league to life through the great identities the game has consistently thrown up. The top 100 players list contained within, will no doubt provoke much discussion, but unlike many other such lists, it shows a more considered approach to the joyous skills exhibited by players from earlier in rugby leagues long history, rightly giving due acknowledgment to the likes of the great Dave Brown and others. Probably helped by the fact he was born in New Zealand, Evans has done well to incorporate significant international content into this book, exploring Britain [Wales and England predominantly], New Zealand, France, Papua New Guinea, the US and South Africas contribution to the game. Perhaps future editions could incorporate summaries on the other major Pacific nations such as Tonga, Samoa and Fiji as well. The book is well finished with some excellent and famous photographs from the games long history, in both black and white and colour. A great rugby league book from an up and coming writer in the field. Every fan of the game should be able to find some trivia to their liking in what is a wonderful assortment."" - James Matthey & Lyle Beaton"
