The NRL tonight announced the induction into the NRL Immortals of three players from pre-World War II and two post war players.

The NRL supports the Government's revised stadia strategy which will see the new stadiums built at Parramatta and Moore Park and a refurbishment of the Sydney Olympic Park stadium.

The NRL today launched its Strategic Plan for 2018-22, a blueprint which will set up the game's long-term future including expansion into areas such as Perth, Country New South Wales, New Zealand and Ipswich.

The Brisbane Broncos, St George Illawarra Dragons, Sydney Roosters and New Zealand Warriors have been named as the teams that will compete as part of the inaugural NRL Holden Women’s Premiership in 2018.

NRL Chief Executive Todd Greenberg has announced that up to two additional Immortals will be chosen in 2018, while another six retired stars of the game will be inducted into a new Hall of Fame.
