Part reflection, part commentary — a look at how the game felt then, and how it feels now.

Rugby league, late at night.

Jason runs through the results from this week in rugby league, takes a quick detour into the world of ticket prices, and spends some time watching a classic match from 1984 between the South Sydney Rabbitohs and the St George Dragons.

Part round recap, part late-night nostalgia — just a fan rediscovering the game.

This week on Late Night League, Jason Cox looks at the early stories of the rugby league season.

Is Jason Ryles the right coach for Parramatta? Why are so many teams running the ball on the last tackle? And what does a 19-year-old debutant like Cooper Clarke remind us about how young the modern game has become?

Along the way Jason reflects on the days when league players held jobs outside football, wonders how many names Shark Park has actually had, and shares thoughts on Fox League’s Red Bull “momentum tracker”.

Plus a look back at a classic match — Parramatta vs Canterbury from 1983.
