Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the Team Of The Century?

Answer: The best players over the first 100 years 1908-2008

The team was announced in late 2007 to celebrate rugby league's centenary year. The team was made up of 17 players and one coach. The team includes all seven rugby league immortals.
2. What is the wooden spoon?

Answer: The team on the bottom of the ladder at season's end

This is the worst accolade that a team can get. It is not considered an official award but more of a gimmic.
3. Which states play State of Origin?

Answer: Queensland and New South Wales

Three games are played and whoever wins the majority, wins the cup. The players are selected for this side with which they played their first senior football. It is considered the toughest rugby league matches anywhere in the world.
4. What is the minor premiership?

Answer: The team on the top of the ladder at season's end

The team who wins the most games at the end of the season wins this award. If two teams are on the same amount of wins, it goes to points differential. It is not the winner of the competition.
5. How many players are there on the field for each team?

Answer: 13

There are 13 starters and 4 on the bench. If someone is dropped from the side for whatever reason, then the 18th man comes into the squad.
6. What is the "Top 8"?

Answer: At season's end, the 8 teams in the top 8 positions

If you get a spot in the top 8 at the end of the season, you go into playoffs for a grand final spot. It doesn't matter where you come from, just as long as you're in the top 8.
7. How long is a "sin-bin"?

Answer: 10 minutes

You have to sit on the sideline for 10 minutes of the game with no substitute. If you're are a repeat offender, you will be sent off for the match.
8. How many points are scored for a try?

Answer: 4 points

If you score a try, you can kick for goal, worth 2 pts. A try is scored when a player applies downward pressure on the ball in the goal area.
9. What is a 'golden point'?

Answer: If scores are drawn over 80 minutes where the first team to score wins

If no team scores after golden point, the game is then drawn. Teams often try for a field goal because they're easier points.
10. Which of these is a rugby league position?

Answer: Halfback

A flanker is used in rugby union, ruckman in AFL, and a goalkeeper in soccer. The halfback is the most important position in rugby league because they are like the glue that holds the team together. They are they playmakers and usually the captain.
