Rugby League In Queensland by Florida Doop

The Queensland Rugby Football League was formed in 1908 by seven rugby players who were dissatisfied with the administration of the Queensland Rugby Union (QRU) as the Queensland Rugby Association. Those founding fathers were Micky Dore, George Watson, Jack Fihelly, J O’Connor. E Buchanan, Alf Faulkner and Sine Boland. Discussion about breaking away from the rugby ‘union’ and forming a professional ‘league’ in Queensland can be traced as far back as 1905 through the visions of then Deputy State Premier, Michael Allison.
This book will tell you about the History of the Regional Rugby League in Queensland.
