In its 12th year of publication and recognised as the most thorough and analytical chronicle of rugby league in Australia, 'Rugby League 1999' provides a detailed and comprehensive report of the first year of the unified National Rugby League competition.
Following three seasons of division due to the Super League war, rugby league took its first conciliatory steps in 1998. In a year spiced with intrigue and scandal, fans witnessed a brilliant finals series ultimately won by the outstanding Brisbane Broncos, a thrilling State of Origin series and an engrossing test Battle between Australia and New Zealand. It was the perfect fillip for the code's long-suffering supporters, and suggested a return to the glory days of the early 1990s.
Essential reading for all league fans.
