Each week we explore a season of BRL History. This week’s episode explores the 1914 season and its players. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this podcast may refer to names of people who have passed. This is not meant to cause distress or offence but raise awareness of Brisbane Rugby League’s shared history and the story of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander players and administrators within that story’s framework.
This week we discuss the 1914 season. We continue the story about how the sugar cane town of Bundaberg influenced Rugby League in Brisbane as well as how playing under the Electorate System affected the competition and the players.
