"There is no team that gives pleasure to the sporting public like
the Canberra Raiders." --Bob Hawke, former Prime Minister of
Australia The Canberra Raiders' spectacular grand final win against
the Balmain Tigers in 1989 is widely regarded as Australian rugby
league's greatest ever decider. For a fledgling club, this was an
extraordinary and unexpected achievement, heralding a sequence of
years that produced two more premierships and two near-misses. The
Raiders' trademark adventurous style of play was welcomed by all
lovers of the game. Attacking football was back in vogue. David
Headon tells the story of a unique football team that entered the
Sydney competition in 1982 with little fanfare and plenty of
pessimism, despite the fact that league had been an integral part
of communities across the Limestone Plains for nearly a century.
From this firm base, the Raiders emerged to make their mark.
Absolutely Bleeding Green recounts the big wins and heart-wrenching
losses as it follows the players through their Raider careers,
revealing how the club was able to build exceptional team spirit,
even in difficult times. It includes interviews with players past
and present, with coaches and administrators, as well as with
families and supporters who are so proud of the distinctive lime
green jersey. "This terrific book tells the story of a unique club
that changed my life forever, just as the Raiders changed rugby
league forever." --Mal Meninga, rugby league Immortal, Canberra
