Description
Steve Mascord joins the pod to explain why he took it upon himself to bring back into focus the rollicking ride that was the 1997 Rugby League season in Australia. Armed with a thick wad of interviews with the most influential figures of the Super League era, Steve reflects on what it all meant then and what it all means now. How can we judge who won the war? How should international Rugby League devotees feel about that period? How would the Super League war be reported upon if it unfolded in the 24/7 media and communications landscape of 2021? Lots to chat about; let's get stuck in.
