What makes a rugby league player ‘great’, let alone ‘the greatest’? Among many definitions the word ‘great’ is generally defined as ‘a person who has achieved importance or distinction in a field’. The 100 great rugby league Players’ listed in this book have done just that … achieved distinction both on and off the field, and through their various achievements helped make rugby league the greatest game of all.
Respected authors Alan Whiticker and Ian Collis (The History of Rugby League Clubs, St George: 11 Golden Years and Rugby League through the Decades) have ranked the top 100 players since the foundation of the game in 1908 up to the present day. Names such as Churchill, Messenger, Langlands, Beetson, Gasnier and Fulton mix with present day stars Greg Inglis, Johnathan Thurston, Cameron Smith and Billy Slater to comprise the most definitive book ever published on the players who made rugby league great.
