| The Book of NRL Lists is a collection of lists and accompanying narrative, presented in a similar vein to The Slattery Media Groups 2011 title The Book of Footy Lists by Mark Fine. It includes anything and everything Rugby League, with a focus on some of the more obscure aspects of the code as well as the standard Best players for each club, Best players by position etc. lists. The narrative style is light and fun, combining a quirky outlook with genuine passion for the game and its history and characters. |

""This book had us thinking about The Simpsons episode where homer becomes obsessed with the Guinness Book Of Records, and starts bringing it around with him everywhere. it wouldn’t be hard to see some league tragic falling into the same behaviour, with this neat collection of sure-fire conversation-starters. There’s no dry or tedious territory covered in here. Pretty much every list offers an opinion, with a club-by-club accounting of the best to pull on the jumper at each team (even the adelaide rams) as well as the greatest games, seasons and so forth. But what’s really engrossing
are the arcane lists: the best hair (no.1: Fuifui Moimoi), beards (noel cleal) and moustaches (J.J. Giltinan), very full records of biting, gouging and spitting incidents (this is rugby league, after all) as well as our favourite, a ranking of the best smiths in the game’s history. There are more than ten good reasons to take a look at this book."" - Jeff Centenera"
