Comments

This NCLT one dollar coin, released by the RAM in 2008 in a coincard celebrates 100 years of Rugby League in Australia.



It was also issued by Australia Post in a Prestige Stamp Booklet with $10 face value of stamps.



Rugby Union champion of the time Dally Messenger signed to Rugby League in 1907 to play in the All Golds match in 1908. This was the catalyst for the beginning of this new code of football. The NSW Rugby Football League was founded displacing Rugby Union as the primary code of football. Rugby League is the dominant football code played in New South Wales and Queensland and is played professionally in over 50 countries worldwide.
