Legacy
Although Super League damaged the public perceptions and financial standing of rugby league in Australia, a number of concepts that it introduced lived on into the new millennium.
ANZAC Test
An addition to the regular Tests played between Australia and New Zealand, the ANZAC Test was introduced by Super League. The ANZAC Test (also known as the Bundaberg Rum Test for sponsorship reasons is a Rugby League Test match played annually between There was some controversy at the time for the use of the word ANZAC, as many considered it inappropriate to compare sportspeople to soldiers. Although it was dropped from the annual schedule in the early years of the new millennium, it was revived in 2004, and is now contested each year.
Night Grand Finals
The Super League Telstra Cup Grand Final was played on a Saturday night in Brisbane, whereas all NSWRL and ARL Grand Finals were traditionally played on a Saturday afternoon (until 1980), or Sunday afternoon (from 1981). A Grand Final is a predominantly Australian sporting term used to describe a final that decides a league champion From 2001 the NRL has played its Grand Finals on the Sunday night in October, to coincide with a Public Holiday in New South Wales the following day. Year 2001 ( MMI) was a Common year starting on Monday according to the Gregorian calendar.
Although a ratings success for the Nine Network, this scheduling continues to upset traditionalists, who believe that having the Grand Final on a Sunday afternoon allows people to better celebrate the day, particularly with a Grand Final BBQ. The Nine Network, or Channel Nine, is an Australian television network based in Willoughby, a suburb on the North Shore of Sydney Some in Sydney also believe that holding the Grand Final at night disuades parents with young children attending. Sydney (ˈsɪdniː is the most populous city in Australia, with a Metropolitan area population of approximately 4 It is also very unpopular outside of New South Wales, as there is no Public Holiday in Queensland the following day, and the Grand Final begins late in the evening in New Zealand. Queensland is a state of Australia, occupying the north-eastern corner of the mainland continent New Zealand is an Island country in the south-western Pacific Ocean comprising two main landmasses (the North Island and the South Island

The NRL used Video Referees from its first season in 1998. Year 1998 ( MCMXCVIII) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link will display full 1998 Gregorian calendar)
Rule Changes
A number of rule changes were introduced in both the Super League and the ARL during the war that have been adopted by the NRL. Super League innovations include:
- Zero tackle rule (in a modified form). Most forms of Football have a move known as a tackle. In most cases this move is one that prevents an opposing player from carrying out what they intend
- Scrums packed 20 metres in from touch. Scrum (an abbreviated form of scrummage, which is now rarely used in the sports of Rugby union and Rugby league, is a way of restarting the game either
An ARL rule change for the 1997 season that was adopted by the NRL and is still in force is the popular 40/20 rule. Under this rule, attacking teams kicking the ball into touch 'on the bounce' from inside the 40 metres closest to their goal line, with the ball crossing the sideline inside the opposing team's 20 metre area, receives a scrum feed. Previously the defending team received the scrum feed.
