The Blues
Profiles every player to represent New South Wales in State of Origin since 1980. The Blues tells the back stories to the 300-plus New South Welshmen who have contested the legendary State of Origin series. This is more than a rugby league book. It's a book about the children of immigrants, military personnel, farmers and factory workers. It's the story of Indigenous kids and boys from the bush who were told they were not good enough. And the story of those seemingly always destined for greatness. Best-author Alan Whiticker delves into the lives and careers of every player to pull on a sky-blue jersey and face the might of the Maroons in league's elite competition. The Blues: NSW's State of Origin Heroes is the companion title to Gelding Street Press's The Maroons by Robert Burgin.
The Second Half
In the follow up to his first successful book of humorous anecdotes, Play with a Smile, former Great Britain coach, Maurice Bamford, has penned a new series of funny stories from the world of rugby league in The Second Half. Encapsulating the grit and toughness combined with the down to earth humour that has existed in the game from its earliest days, The Second Half features many famous players, and a number not so famous, but all sharing the trait of being characters who could laugh at themselves in one of the hardest games in the world. Players such as Jim Mills, Barrie McDermott, Fran Cotton, Shaun Edwards and Eddie Cunningham, plus a few supporting personalities from the past, including Billy Watts, the Leeds timekeeper, Workington Chairman, Tom Mitchell and journalist Keith Macklin are featured. All contribute to the humour with tales such as: The Fearless Russian Bear from Vladivostok, A Prop in Love, Can You Trust the Referee? and Never Mind the Hooter, Play On. Stories portraying quirks of the sport that are guaranteed to make you smile!
Sculthorpe

The only player to ever be named Man of Steel in successive years, the St Helens captain is arguably the most talented man to grace a rugby league field in modern times. Yet Sculthorpe did not always have his sights set on Challenge Cup and Grand Final glory. As a youngster he spent his time booting a football around with brother Lee - and actually had to be forced into playing his first game of rugby. From that moment a star was born, as he went on to captain every side he ...
