This thesis examines the injury incidence associated with playing professional rugby league, and examines some of the risks associated with injury whilst playing the game. The first paper describes the pattern of injury incidence in professional rugby league and noted that it is higher than in other popular team sports. The second paper examines the different exposures of forward and back players and observes that forwards experience higher rates of injury. The third and fourth papers examine the effect of moving the playing calendar to summer rugby.

  • Movement Demands of Elite Rugby League Players During Australian National Rugby League and European Super League Matches
    International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 2014, 9, 925-930 http://dx.doi.org/10.1123/ijspp.2013-0270 © 2014 Human Kinetics, Inc. www.IJSPP-Journal.com ORIGINAL INVESTIGATION Movement Demands of Elite Rugby League Players During Australian National Rugby League and European Super League Matches Craig Twist, Jamie Highton, Mark Waldron, Emma Edwards, Damien Austin, and Tim J. Gabbett Purpose: This study compared the movement demands of players competing in matches from the elite Australian and European rugby league competitions. Methods: Global positioning system devices were used to measure 192 performances of forwards, adjustables, and outside backs during National Rugby League (NRL; n = 88) and European Super League (SL; n = 104) matches. Total and relative distances covered overall and at low (0–3.5 m/s), moderate (3.6–5 m/s), and high (>5 m/s) speeds were measured alongside changes in movement variables across the early, middle, and late phases of the season. Results: The relative distance covered in SL matches (95.8 ± 18.6 m/min) was significantly greater (P < .05) than in NRL matches (90.2 ± 8.3 m/min). Relative low-speed activity (70.3 ± 4.9 m/min vs 75.5 ± 18.9 m/min) and moderate-speed running (12.5 ± 3.3 m m/min vs 14.2 ± 3.8 m/min) were highest (P < .05) in the SL matches, and relative high-speed distance was greater (P < .05) during NRL matches (7.8 ± 2.1 m/min vs 6.1 ± 1.7 m/min). Conclusions: NRL players have better maintenance of high-speed running between the first and second halves of matches and perform less low- and moderate-speed activity, indicating that the NRL provides a higher standard of rugby league competition than the SL.

MAIN OBJECTIVES To address this, the Governance Foundation Project [GFP] has created a tiered Membership structure of the RLEF – Bronze [Observer status], Silver [Affiliate Member], Gold [Full Member] – where best practice and the principles of good governance will be promoted, and the cooperation between partners will develop the European dimension throughout rugby league, itself a young sport on the Continent, [foundation date of January 2003]. Use of Mentors and Learners provides innovation. ACTIVITIES In addition to utilising the Mentor-Learner system inherent in the GFP throughout a series of transnational exchanges, the project will utilise partnerships with more established European sports, namely football, to explore and cultivate good governance, using a series of seminars, technical visits and on-line tutorials and resources such as e-learning. RESULTS The objectives of the GFP are in line with the RLEF strategy, strengthening capacity building throughout and specifically elevating Learners from Bronze to Gold by project completion.

That excitement stemmed not only from the on-field action, but also the realisation that the sport is on the threshold of one of the most significant periods in its international history – a period in which the RLEF is positioned to play a major part.
