The NRL has never just been about what happens on the field. Behind every win, loss or draw lies a story of politics, loyalty, betrayal, and survival. These are the stories that often shape the game more than the scoreboard ever could. In this special two-part series, James Graham, Michael Chammas & Charlie White unpack the moments of chaos, controversy and power plays that defined the last ten years.

These aren’t just headlines. They’re the moments that changed careers, redefined clubs, and altered the course of rugby league history!
