ACKNOWLEDGMENTSThanks for visiting this site.

This project has been years in the making and was done purely as a labour of love. Absolutely no money has been received during the researching and publication of this site.

Although much of the information is 'home grown', it is important to that we give acknowledgment to those who put in the hard yards in putting together their own publications. Most of our information comes from asking questions and constantly referring to books, club records, news articles, videos and websites. Much of what you read is based on 'recollections' of past readings and simple discussions. This is addition to information supplied by players, their families, and friends. Naturally, sources have been double checked where possible.

This website would not have been possible if these resource tools were not available.
If you see anything on this site which you feel was taken from your effort, then we thank you.
If you wish to dispute anything you see in this site, please do not hesitate to make contact.
If we have left anything out and you require further acknowledgment, once again, please feel free to let us know.

A big thankyou to all the players for providing us with so much entertainment. And ofcourse we must acknowledge the supporter's network without which the great game of Rugby League would not exist.

If any of the content causes concern, please let us know so we may rectify the situation to your satisfaction.
