Ingas book is a good read, particularly with reference to his first training encounter with Shaun Edwards.

Rugby's Class War by David Hinchliffe (ex?) M.P. is a great book if you can track a copy down. Very revealing book; whose strap-line of "Bans, boot money and parliamentry battles" sets the scene.

Doug Laughton's book is short but entertaining.

Wayne Bennett's books are enlightening into the man and his methods.

Fatty: Strife and Times of Paul Vautin is very funny, particularly his rather non-flattering tales of St Helens, for fans from that era.

There is a quite interesting pick-me-up-for-a-glance Where Are They Now book from the Yorkshire Press(?) that tracks down players from the, mostly 80's and 90's that is fairly recent but I never see mentioned.

Auto(sic)-biographies from players tend to be a bit dull by the end of the book but if anything Aussie player's write better obes as they seem more "media" polished.

Quote: the flying biscuit ""The Forbidden Game",

its one of the best books I've ever read....

It tells the Tale of the great Jean Galia and the Rise of French Rugby League and then how the Nazi controlled Vichy Government banned the sport to stop it overtaking rugby union....

I read it while on holiday in Canet which added a real feel to the book as we had been to many of the villages and towns where some of those early french rugby League "rebels" grew up....

you would not support France in this weekends Union final if you ever read the book...in fact you wouldnt give the game your time of day at all.'"


Often thought that if a good film was to be made featuring RL this would be the story to tell. Someone really should give Russell Crowe a copy of this book..

“League had my allegiance, too, because it is an expression of who I am and where I come from, the history of my people and our ancestral lands. It is of the culture from which I spring, to a degree that some may never even recognise.” - taken from my favourite, "At the George and other essays on Rugby League." by Geoffrey Moorhouse.
