Answer: False

It started in 1998. The NSWRL started in 1908, then in 1995 it became the ARL. In 1997 there was 2 competitions, the ARL and Super League. In 1998 there was one competition again when the ARL and Super League merged to from the NRL.

2. The first NRL game at Stadium Australia (the Olympic Stadium in Sydney) attracted a crowd of over 104,000?

Round 1 of the 1999 season, 6th March, had a double header Manly-Warringah v Newcastle and St George-Illawarra v Parramatta at the Olympic Stadium. The exact crowd was 104,583. The winners on the day were the Newcastle Knights and Parramatta Eels.

Answer: False

Upon the re-admission of South Sydney, there were 15 teams which meant there was a bye every weekend (sometimes 3 teams had a bye).
