Ken Arthurson, the iconic figure in Rugby League circles, is set to be honored with an induction into the prestigious NRL Hall of Fame, according to a report by seaeagles.com.au.
The National Rugby League (NRL) has revealed that Arthurson, along with fellow administrator John Quayle, will be recognized for their significant contributions to the sport.
This announcement also included a historic moment as Wayne Bennett and Jack Gibson were named as the first Coaches to receive this honor.
In addition to Arthurson and Quayle, the Hall of Fame will welcome broadcast legends Frank Hyde and David Morrow as Contributors, further solidifying their place in Rugby League history.
Arthurson, known for his leadership as the ARL chairman from 1983 to 1997 and NSWRL chairman from 1987 to 1997, was a former player, coach, and administrator for the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles.
His dedication to the sport was acknowledged in 1988 when he was awarded the Order of Australia for his service to Rugby League.
Quayle, a former Australian representative player with two Tests in 1975, made his mark as the general manager of the NSWRL in 1983 and continued to serve as a prominent CEO in the game until 1997.
These inductions into the NRL Hall of Fame serve as a reminder of the rich history and impact that these individuals have had on the sport, cementing their legacy in Rugby League folklore.
