Rugby League in the 1980s saw the introduction of State of
Origin, the dominance of Australia at international level, and Parramatta and Canterbury
rule the domestic competition.

New stars such as Wally Lewis, Brett Kenny, Mal Meninga,
Phil Blake, Peter Sterling, Eric Grothe, Wayne Pearce and Michael O’Connor
would all become future legends of the game.

The 1980s saw the game expand beyond Sydney to include teams
from Illawarra, Canberra, Newcastle, Brisbane and Gold Coast.

Relive each year in a round by round account of the premiers
rugby league competition.  Including
statistical information, this is a must for rugby league fans everywhere.
