“A HISTORY OF RUGBY LEAGUE IN MACKAY 1919 – 2015” gives a great insight into the history of the game in one of the power-house breeding grounds of rugby league in Australia.
Not many regional towns can boast of an array of talent like Ned Andrews, Elton Rasmussen, Graham Laird, Ray Laird, Martin Bella, Dale Shearer, Shannon Hegarty, Neville Costigan, Julian O’Neill, Josh Hoffman and Daly Cherry-Evans, who all represented their country from Mackay, or after leaving Mackay.
Rugby league historian, Tony Price, has captured every season in detail from 1919 through until 2015, with an amazing list of photos and facts never seen or listed before. He has also compiled an extensive list of representative players, officials and characters, and his touch has brought “A History of Mackay Rugby League” to life.
