haha post the emails...
...The NSW and Queensland rugby unions suspended senior competition during World War I. Rugby league did not. When Balmain played Glebe in the 1915 grand final, young men were being sacrificed at Gallipoli. The Queensland Rugby Union was unable to reform until 1929.
By no means do I impugn those who played on or to suggest that many thousands have not worn both khaki and club colours. But it does strike me as a slightly anomalous note when the code wraps itself in the flag and has the Last Post played at its Anzac Day Test...
...Blackburn also explains why the ordinary soldiers at Changi preferred to play and watch rugby league to union. ''Rugby union was perceived as the game of the 'silvertails' or the upper classes, and therefore also of the army high command, the people the ordinary soldiers blamed for their defeat in Malaya. Rugby league was seen as 'the game of the masses','' Blackburn writes.
