In A League Of Their Own: 22 Of League's Finest Tell Their Funniest: Mike Colman

So you thought rugby league was a serious game played by hulking blokes in short pants. Think again. It might be tough out there on the field, but rugby league players love a laugh as much as the restof us. That's right - Blocker Roach and Mark Sargent are a frightening sight in full flight, but sit them down, put a cold beer in their hand and they'll spin a yarn with the best of them. And 20 more of footie's finest, ex-players and commentators do just that. Wally Lewis, Andrew Ettingshausen, Peter Sterling and more recall their hilarious moments in the game and give the inside guff of some of league's greatest mysteries and tall tales. You've heard of the 'eye of the tiger' - now read all about Tommy Raudonikus and the heart of the bull. There's the time Dallas Donnelly ate out the kitchen in Singapore and Mark Geyer stopped traffic in Paris - and just who was the Mysterious Underpants Phantom of Redfern Oval?
