If any fan of Rugby League doesn't have 'That's Rugby League' in their collection then they seriously need to re-evaluate their devotion to the greatest game. At a masssive and 3 hours & 17 minutes, this is the ultimate DVD/video on rugby league in Australia and Kangaroo tours.

'That's Rugby League' covers all all aspects of the history of the game - from the birth of rugby league in Sydney, the premiership and Grand Finals, Test Match football, World Cups and State of Origin. It brings to life all those magic moments and players that so many words have been written about.

You can see for yourself whether Gasnier was as good as they say. Watch Arthur Beetson take apart the Poms in a Test. Travel back to the opening State of Origin night. Run for cover as Newtown and Manly put on the biff in 1981. Look on as Parramatta let the 'flying wedge' loose in the '76 Grand Final.

Fans in England, France and New Zealand will enjoy the extensive coverage of international rugby league and seeing famous overseas imports to the Sydney premiership including Phil Lowe and Henry Tatana.

'That's Rugby League' is a faultless presentation - narrated by Warwick Moss, the viewer is presented with video and film highlights, player interviews, photographs of players and memorabilia, and is interspersed with contemporary news items to set the scene.

Neither the news reports or player interviews are long-winded, they are all short and snappy - the 3 hours & 17 minutes duration is all rugby league.

'That's Rugby League' was originally released amidst the off-field dramas of the last decade and was missed by many fans. Covering the history of the game until the mid 1990s, it has now been re-released.

Unfortunately the original memorabilia cover has been replaced, but what is inside more than makes up for it. Twice as long as most rugby league videos & dvds, 'That's Rugby League' is exceptional value.

I can't recommend 'That's Rugby League' enough to anyone remotely interested in rugby league or the history of great sports. Having it now available on DVD makes it even more of a treasure.
