New South Wales Rugby Football League, By laws and rules together with laws of the game, 1908, nla.obj-52863578
Join us for a conversation about the history of rugby league with Sia Soliola and Katrina Fanning, and facilitated by Tim Gavel. This panel event will look at some of the changes and big milestones which have happened in professional rugby league over the last 30 years.
Rugby league has always been a sport which has rapidly changed as society has changed. One of the periods which saw a massive transformation of the code was the game’s expansion in the 1990s beyond its strongholds in Sydney and Brisbane to becoming a national code. It was also a period that the game became more inclusive with the emergence of women’s rugby league.
The talk will be available to view live online via the Library’s Facebook and YouTube pages. You do not need to book a ticket to watch the event online.
This event is presented in association with the Tom Brock Bequest and the Grit & Gold: Tales from a Sporting Nation exhibition.
