The English do some great IRL books -- Australia not so much. I've got a great one on the history of every RLWC. Check the Book Depository. There is some gold in there.
Ok, as the first derailer of this thread, I will ask a serious question: don't all clubs have histories written? I was genuinely surprised that Canberra is doing this because I suppose I had assumed that such a book would exist already. I guess I was thinking that other clubs would have things like Jack Galloway's excellent "Broncos - The Team To Beat" book.
How many club history books are there?
Guess you could say he was born a Writer.There is a great book called "Never Before, Never Again" about St George winning 11 premierships in a row.
Written by a bloke called Larry Writer funnily enough..

I think Raiderdave should be appealing this decision. Canberra are missing a unique opportunity to put Raiderdave's unique writing style to good use and widespread acclaim.
I hope he manages to interview both of the Raiders' 2015 season members and the other dozen members of their home crowd. It would be good to get the average fan's perspective.
Or their alleged salary cap issues during thr golden years of the late 80's and early 90's.
Sweep sweep.

This recent history stuff isn't what I focus on, so I'm happy to be corrected here.Or their alleged salary cap issues during thr golden years of the late 80's and early 90's.

Penrith have 2 - Bound For Glory released in 1992, and Men In Black released in 2008.
Heard on the grapevine that the Sharks are to appoint a curator for their trophy room. Good to see otherwise things may go astray.
Need to get the perspective of that AMCO Cup just right...
