NRL's most dominant Runners-Up

These are the teams that won the minor-Premiership and then went on to fall short when the Premiership was on the line.

Any artists out there who would like to produce the cover for our soon to be released Rugby League yearbook?

It's unpaid, but comes with plenty of exposure online.

Having grown up in a suburb of Auckland that hasn’t had a team feature in the top grade since 1945, I'm not very familiar with old-school rugby league.

So, I went down a YouTube rabbit hole to 1985 and wrote a few words about it.
Old-school rugby league breakdown: Kiwis v Australia in 1985
Rugby League is constantly evolving, so I've gone back to 1985 to see how things looked when the Kiwis took on the Kangaroos in the second test at Carlaw Park.

Is it just me, or does it irk others when a sponsor on jumper is not integrated into the design.

Keep the logo and font etc, but why put it in a white box on a black jumper?

Why not use the club colours. That Westpac logo on the NSW jumper is jarringly bad. Couldn't it be white instead?
