League: Born in Crisis - Sports Bizarre

Bizarre with Mick Molloy and Titus O’Reily

On 8 August 1907, a secret meeting at Bateman’s Hotel in Sydney established a professional version of rugby in Australia and League was born.

The very next day, details of the secret meeting were in the paper and League had gone less than 24 hours before their first crisis.

Mick and Titus look at the early years of League in Australia as the NRL Grand Final approaches.

Titus is touring the country. Tickets are on sale now.
