Great RL Photos


Recommended Posts

Adding to the picturesque grounds and remembering the time we regularly did threads like this I thought we could compile just some great photos of our greatest game. Put up some legendary ones and some that are unique. Starting with mine, I "stole" this from twitter the other month.

Everything at this link to the Australian War Memorial archives.

It has a heap of rugby league photos of military people playing rugby league in places as varied as Palestine and Japan including with the British Commonwealth Occupation Forces

From this season, but one I really liked, just for the size contrast.

I wish I could find the one of Paul Anderson and Russell Smith. The look on Smith's face was priceless!

Great picture.  My mother-in-law's brother was there, though, to tell you the truth, I cannot pick him out!

No matter how many times I see that picture I still can't believe they got that many people into Odsal. 

Here's a nice companion picture from pitch level:
