The World Cup Invincibles! Australia’s Showpiece DOMINANCE! 1975–2000
It was a period that started with no mobile phones, everyone scared of sharks thanks to Jaws and were soon to learn of an evil empire ruling the galaxy in Star Wars. By the end of the period, we were all connected by the internet, the Jedi once again ruled the galaxy and one nation established themselves as kings of the rugby league world.
From 1975 to 2000, Australia established an extraordinary record on rugby league’s biggest international stage. But what made the Kangaroos so dominant, and who were the players and tea...
Ep 43 Super League 360 - RLWC Week Two Review
None of us doubted the outcomes we’d see,
But we didn’t know how one sided the France game would be.
England turned up after a scratchy start,
Herbie, Litten and AJ tore the French apart.
The format itself is copping some grief,
And these one-sided games just fuel that belief

The LAST TIME the Poms Conquered the Kangaroos! 54 Years Ago!
When we talk about Rugby League World Cups, it’s easy to think about the modern tournament — decent crowds, professional athletes, modern stadiums and between 10 and 16 nations from all around the world competing on the biggest stage.
But go back more than 50 years to 1972 and you enter a very different world of rugby league. The game was still largely played by working men, international tours could involve extraordinary travel, and the World Cup itself was a much smaller, more intimate affair.
Yet for all those differences, the passion, pride and fierce rivalry were every bit as real...
Ep 42 Super League 360 - RLWC Week One Review!
England got well and truly battered in Perth
Their World Cup hopes crashing down to earth
The Kiwis and Aussies put on a show
England against those ? We fear how it would go
Samoa and Tonga in no mood for messin’
France too were taught a really tough lesson

A STOLEN RLWC Trophy and 13 Years That Changed Rugby League FOREVER!
Between 1957 and 1970, rugby league didn't just change on the field. It changed as a product, as entertainment, and as an international sport. And a lot of the rugby league we recognise today starts taking shape right here.
In just 13 years, rugby league went from a four-team World Cup with no final to international tournaments, television, massive club rivalries and some of the most famous moments in the game's history.
And there's something else happening during this period that would be almost impossible for a modern rugby league fan to appreciate.
The period between 1957 and 1...
Ep 41 Super League 360 - World Cup Edition!
What on earth can we have a poem about this week?
There haven’t been any rugby league games of which to speak
So instead of having our favourite sport to see,
All we’ve heard of is gradings from IMG!
The differences on their points ladder are sometimes very narrow
Just ask London Broncos, who are one place below Barrow!

Imagine if you can it's October 1954... 72 years ago.
In the UK, bomb sites from WW2 still scar many cities. Food rationing has only just ended and most families don't own a television. Winston Churchill is approaching 80 and serving his second term as Prime Minister.
On the other side of the world, Australia and New Zealand are embracing a new era of post-war optimism. They’v...
Ep 40 Super League 360
A year ago, Hull KR were all the rage
But this year it was Wakefield who took centre stage
Their team and coach will go down as club greats
And I bet they partied like it’s 1968
Poor Sam Burgess and Wire - wasn’t their time to thrive
And they couldn’t bury the ghosts of 1955

EP 39 Super League 360
We had it all in the weekends Super League
Leeds lost and some blamed the referees,
Warrington aiming for their first since ‘55

Wakey flipped the script and would indeed dominate
To get to their first dance since 1968!

Ep 24 Super League 360
Super League 360’s back, Lee and John are here
But the sport is not the same without John Kear
He loved the game and it shone through
As a man, as a coach and in the commentary box too
He coached England, France, Hull FC and Wales.
But the cup win for Sheffield is the pick of all the tales.
So many players he gave their first starts
A coach and a life that touched many hearts
Rest in Peace John Kear who tragically passed away suddenly on Sunday 31 May
