Each week we explore a season of BRL History. This week’s episode explores the 1917 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 1917 season. Brisbane Rugby League continued during the war years and the game began to flourish. This week we discuss how the war affected some of our Rugby League heroes.
