I've
no idea how many questions are in this book - there are 118 pages that
have up ten questions each. The back section of the book includes 80
pages of detailed answers, often with related background information.
The
book's questions are broken up into separate quiz sections:
-
two quizes for each of the current NRL clubs, plus three 'name that
club' quizes
-
quizes on each playing position in the game, players, award winners,
pommie imports, one-game wonders, who am I, Grand Finals, Origin, Tests,
milestones, what year was that, famous fans.... and many more quiz sections
The
book should become a handy reference for those who enjoy trivia, little
known facts or arguing with their mates (and winning!).
Tony
Adams points out: "The purpose of this book isn't purely to determine
how much you know about the great game of rugby league. It's also here
to entertain and amuse, to recall some of the bizarre and unusual events
from rugby league's rich history."
Highly
recommended for 'League nuts' of all ages - it is the best rugby league
quiz book yet let loose on the fans!
