Or you could fill it with stories of players who were poisoned, didn't show for the grand final or took the field drunk.In Jack Gibson's Fur Coat, Glen Humphries tells the stories that live on the margins. You simply couldn't make up rugby league's best yarns.

About the Author
Glen Humphries writes about the holy trinity – beer, music, and sport.
He is the author of Aussie Anthems, which included the song "Eagle Rock", even though he hates it. He has also written The Slab: 24 Stories of Beer in Australia, which was the national winner in the worldwide Gourmand Awards.
Glen's books on sport include Biff and Jack Gibson's Fur Coast, about the National Rugby League, and Sticky Wickets, a book full of strange cricket stories.
Glen is a reporter for the Illawarra Mercury, where he has been for three decades. During that time, he covered local councils, transport, and the Port Kembla steelworks and researched the question, "Why can't you buy mouse-flavoured cat food?". If you meet him one day, he can give you the answer.
