Rugby league has been in an existential crisis since 1895. Just how has it survived so long, and what must it do now to stay alive and thrive? Fighting for Survival examines rugby league’s remarkable resilience amid such obstacles as government bias, military bans and scant media coverage. Can a sport so entrenched in its working-class roots thrive in the highly commercial sporting world? Franchise systems and play-offs feature in many of the most successful sports leagues in the world. Does rugby league need to embrace and commit to both rather than longing for the old days? Could Australia, its oldest international enemy, prove to be its biggest ally? Using the 2025 season as a backdrop, this compelling book looks at rugby league’s past, present and future to see how it could finally flourish in the UK and escape its perennial survival struggle.

In 2009, Warrington RLFC reached the nadir of their long-term, chronic underachievement, prompting one fan to write to the local newspaper questioning the players'' commitment. He signed the letter ''Spirit of ''55'' - a reference to the year the club were last champions. Results began to improve dramatically, with back-to-back Challenge Cup wins followed by a League Leader''s Shield - but still no championship. Spirit of ''55 follows Warrington''s quest to become champions in 2012, as seen through the eyes of their most passionate fan. But are the team cursed by the town''s expectations, and the ghost of ''55? Laced with terrace humour and tempered by the expert eye of a professional coach, the team''s record of failure and the ''curse of hope'' will strike a chord with all sports fans. The book builds to the climax of the play-offs where one team will achieve glory. But will it be Warrington?
