100 Years Rugby League

Rugby League broke away from Rugby Union’s strict amateur rules in 1908, allowing the new professional code to compensate working-class footballers for time away from work while playing or injured.  Followed passionately by millions, particularly in New South Wales and Queensland, League’s fascinating 100-year history is attributed with contributing to Australia's national identity.
