Publisher's Synopsis
Now in it's 15th year of publication, and widely recognised as the game's most thorough and analytical chronicle, "Rugby League 2001" provides a comprehensive summary of the National Rugby League's third season. Last year will be remembered for a host of reasons. Two dead-set legends in Laurie Daley and Andrew Ettinghausen retired. A game was played in Canberra in the snow. Souths continued their determined fight to regain inclusion in the competition. The exodus continued from the salary cap restricted Newcastle. And a mighty Brisbane team convincingly won a Brand Final after an exciting season of football. The book includes a preview of the upcoming season; a review of the 2000 season, the most comprehensive records sections ever compiled and a club-by-club guide to the modern game. It is, without doubt, the most comprehensive yearbook on League. The book will have interviews and reviews, news full club-by-club statistics and a complete day-by-day record of the game's off-field news and dramas.
