Rugby league’s first ever full-time coach, the game’s greatest ever referee and some of rugby league’s biggest and brightest names headline the next batch to go into The81stMinute Hall of Fame.

The list includes Charlie Lynch – a coach who didn’t walk into the role after playing first grade. He was the first non-playing coach in first grade.

He won a premiership with South Sydney in his first year in charge (1928) and won three more grand finals at the Bunnies.

The list also includes iconic figures of the early days like Chris McKivat and the most recent player – Bradley Clyde.
