The 1908 Season - The First Rugby League Season In Australia

In this episode Rugby League historian Andrew Ferguson takes us through everything that happened in 1908 as the game of Rugby League was established in Australia.

From the formation of the original clubs, to the signing of players, the battle for the use of grounds throughout Sydney, and the battles with other sporting authorities over what was, and was not considered to be professionalism in sport.

You will hear quotes from administrations, players and onlookers as the fledgling Rugby League started to take shape. You will hear the details of the first games played in Australia. The first touring team in Australia, the first Kangaroo Tour to Great Britain, and much, much more!
