Description

Each week we explore a season of BRL History. This week’s episode explores the 1968  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 within that story’s framework.

PLUS, later this week we chat with Brothers’ and Easts international centre, Mark Thomas. Tune in next week to hear him chat about his   time playing in the BRL.
