The Rugby League Digest presents: The Super League War

In the final episode of our in-depth investigation of The Super League War, we look ahead at what came next for the newly formed NRL and survey the terrain of the postwar Rugby League landscape*. Then, we examine the legacy of Super League and celebrate the stories and characters who have shaped our series. Finally, we pay sincere tribute to the listeners who have come along for the ride. Be sure to join us to celebrate one last time at our wrap party, Saturday June 8: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/897010561737?aff=oddtdtcreator Hosted on Acast.

After three years of backroom deals, broken contracts, court cases, public sniping, and the splitting of the competition, peace was finally declared, and the National Rugby League was born. In our final chapter, we look at the rocky road to peace throughout 1997, covering every false start, potshot, rejected peace proposal, and, finally, the meeting that saw the game come together and the road to rationalisation begin.
