Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rugby league in Western Australia describes the sport of rugby league, which is currently a minority sport, as it is played at amateur level and watched by people in Western Australia. The state was once represented at the highest level, by the Western Reds/Perth Reds until it was decided they would not be included in the new National Rugby League of 1998 following the Super League war. Today, the WA Reds compete in the Bundaberg Red Cup and are aiming for eventual re-inclusion in the National Rugby League. The Western Australia Rugby League was formed in 1948 with Fremantle, Perth, South Perth and Cottesloe as the foundation clubs. In 1950 the Australian Rugby League Board of Control sent ex Kangaroos hooker Arthur Folwell to Western Australia to try to promote the game in the Australian rules football state. Although touring Great Britain and French rugby league teams had played tour matches in Perth, it was not until the late 1980s that the New South Wales Rugby League played games there.
