History
Formation
The New South Wales Rugby League competition (NSWRL) had begun in 1908 as a rugby league competition in the Sydney region of Australia. New South Wales Rugby League premiership was the first Rugby league football club competition established in Australia For the next eighty years, the league would only venture for clubs in the New South Wales region. But in 1988, the NSWRL admitted two Queensland based teams, one from Brisbane and the other from Gold Coast. Brisbane ( is the state capital of Queensland. Brisbane is the third most populous city in Australia and the most populous city of Queensland The Brisbane team was the first NSWRL club to be privately owned and by 1992 had won a premiership with a dominate team. The NSWRL, planned to introduce a second Brisbane based team, hoping to hold back or reproduce the success of the Brisbane Broncos. The Brisbane Broncos are an Australian professional Rugby league club based in the city of Brisbane Queensland. [1]
On the 30 November 1992, the NSWRL formally admitted a Brisbane-based team into the competition, along with three others, from Townsville, Perth and New Zealand.

Perth is the capital and largest city of the Australian state of Western Australia. New Zealand is an Island country in the south-western Pacific Ocean comprising two main landmasses (the North Island and the South Island The NSWRL hastily established a Brisbane based team, which was to be known as the South Queensland Crushers, which would enter the 1995 NSWRL competition, which had been renamed the Australian Rugby League competition (ARL). The Australian Rugby League (ARL is the governing body for the Sport of Rugby league in Australia [1]
In September 1993, the Crushers chose Bill Gardner as the coach for the team, but after a poor off-season, he was replaced by former Australian international Bob Lindner. William M (Bill Gardner is the current Secretary of State of New Hampshire. Bob Lindner (born 10 November, 1962) is an Australian former Rugby league player and coach Darryl Van der Velde, an experienced rugby league coach from England, was the clubs inaugural chief executive. The club had chosen Lang Park as their home ground which had been abandoned by the Brisbane Broncos in 1992. Lang Park, presently known as Suncorp Stadium, is a rectangular sporting stadium located in the Brisbane suburb of Milton, Queensland, [1]
The Crushers were able to sign Queensland representative players Trevor Gillmeister, Mark Hohn and Dale Shearer as well as three rugby union players including Garrick Morgan who had represented Australia in the union code.

Malcolm Norman Meninga AM (born 8 July 1960) is an Australian Rugby league personality By the beginning of the 1995 season, the Crushers had also signed North Sydney forward Mario Fenech, who the club named as captain. The North Sydney Bears are an Australian Rugby league football club based in Sydney who currently compete in the New South Wales Cup. Mario Fenech (nicknamed "The Maltese Falcon " or "Muzza" is a Maltese-Australian Rugby league personality [1]
1995 and 1996 seasons
The Crushers lost their first match along with next three before winning their first match 16-12 against North Sydney in Round five. An injury to Dale Shearer and the failure of Garrick Morgan to adapt to rugby league saw the Crushers lose much of it’s attacking proses. Captain Fenech was dropped to the interchange bench and loss of the captaincy which was passed on to Gillmeister. The season’s end was dampened after coach Lindner and Fenech feuding which resulted in Fenech being released from the final year of his contract. [1]
In the 1995 season, the club had only won six and drew another in the twenty-two games played. In 1995, News Limited, a mass media company, began deliberating a rival rugby league competition, the Super League, and it was expected that the Crushers would be one of the Super League franchises, but the Crushers remained loyal to the ARL competition. News Limited was the principal holding for the business interests of Rupert Murdoch until the formation of News Corporation in 1979 The Crushers believed that they would survive and be able to compete on its own. The ARL supported this despite their disappointing first season because of the high home ground supporters averaging over 21,000 a season. [1]
The club had bought five players from the Sydney Roosters to help them improve from their inaugural season, and Queensland representative Tony Hearn also joined the club for the 1996 season. The Sydney Roosters is a professional Rugby league club based in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, Australia. Tony Hearn was a British Trade unionist Hearn began working for the Association of Broadcasting Staff (ABS as Assistant to the General Secretary The opening round of the 1996 season the club gathered two points because of Canberra’s forfeit but the club only recorded three more wins in the entire season gathering six points on the competition ladder and took the wooden spoon for being last on the ladder. The Canberra Raiders are an Australian professional Rugby league football team based in the city of Canberra Australian Capital Territory. The Crushers won the second round clash against Parramatta before losing ten in a row. The Crushers then won two in a row before plummeting to lose their last eight matches. [1]
Despite a record crowd that watched the Crushers take on the Brisbane Broncos of 34,263, the Crushers home ground support only averaged over 13,000 each game. The Brisbane Broncos are an Australian professional Rugby league club based in the city of Brisbane Queensland. The diminishing crowd numbers and player payments meant the club was on the brink of bankruptcy. The ARL and a mystery supporter bailed the club out with over half a million dollars in financial relief. The Australian dollar ( sign: $; code: AUD) is the Currency of the Commonwealth of Australia, including Christmas With first-grade rugby league divided between two competitions, it would be hard for the Crushers to recoup lost money in establishing the club as it ploughed further into debt. [1]
The final season
The 1997 season was not much better for the Crushers, again taking the wooden spoon for the second year running. The club only won four games of the twenty-two match season. The 1997 season for the Crushers saw their home game attendances dwindle to an average of 7,000 peoples and even with free days, which allowed supporters to come to the games free of charge, the club didn’t gather support as it had in its inaugural season. The Crushers did however win their final match of the season convincingly 39-18 over the Western Suburbs Magpies. The Western Suburbs Magpies are a Rugby league football club in Sydney Australia The NSWRL/ARL’s plan to rival the Brisbane Broncos success had failed. [1]
With the unification of the Super League and ARL competitions following the 1997 season, the new National Rugby League (NRL) competition was formed. This meant that three teams of the twenty-two teams participating in 1997 would be axed as part of the rationalisation process aimed at reducing teams to an optimal number. With the introduction of the Melbourne Storm and the fact that the agreement between Super League and the ARL was to have a fourteen-team competition in 2000, the future for the Crushers was inevitably demise. The Melbourne Storm is a professional Rugby league football club based in the city of Melbourne, Australia [1]
In late 1997, the club’s only option of survival was to merge, with the most likely contender the Gold Coast Chargers, who like the Crushers, were struggling to be able compete in the competition. Gold Coast were a Rugby league team which played in the New South Wales Rugby League premiership from 1988 to 1994, the Australian Rugby However, the NRL approved the Gold Coast team for the 1998 season, and they went alone into the re-unified competition. The club was wound up in December 1997 with debts totalling over $AU 3 million dollars.
