The Rugby League News  

Vol. 10—No.

RECORD CROWD FOR THE “AGRA.”  

(For the “R.L. News,” by Harry Sunderland.)  

Queensland’s visit to Sydney this year for the big games next Satur-  

day on the Agricultural Society’s Ground marks the first of the  

big tests between the Blues and the Maroons to enable- the Aus  

tralian selectors to chose the fourth team of “Kangas” to go on  

the world’s tour in July.  

“See New York-London-Dublin-  

Glasgae-Leeds and Paris. Who  

wouldn’t be flat out after trip  

like that?” That’s how heard one  

of the leading players sum it all up  

when they were at training night  

under the powerful electric lights  

the other night. No wonder the  

players are keen. They could not

buy the actual trip of the Kangaroos  

for £BOO, and there are many  

homes, many sight-seeing tours,  

many little “extras” that the 1929  

Kangaroos will enjoy that could not  

be bought by private citizen with  

thousands at his credit at the Com-  

monwealth Bank. Why wonder,  

then, at the remarkable keenness  

of the Queensland and New South  

Wales players over their great  

games to be played next week  

Queensland has had good team  

for the last seven seasons, and in  

all the main games in Sydney from  

1922 to 1928 (excluding the  

matches at Newcastle and those  

against second teams), Queensland  

has won ten matches and New  

South Wales six. Last year both  

States defeated England, but col-  

lectively their players, as an Aus-  

tralian side, narrowly lost the  

Ashes. Last year Queensland de-  

feated N.S.W. in three out of the  

four interstate tests, and accounted  

for England by 21 to 7.  

On those four victories in five  

big games the Queenslanders na-  

turally contend that 1928 form  

shows them to be comparable with  

any Rugby League team that may  

take the field this year. But form  

of year ago—and form of the  

present—may be just slightly dif-  

ferent. just enough to enable the  

Blues to defeat the Maroons. This  

possibility has been rendered all
