Centenary of Rugby LeaguePrint Page 
The plaque commemorates centenary of Rugby League and Muswellbrook Workers Club’s support of rugby league since it opened its doors in 1951.
Since 1951 the Muswellbrook Workers Club has been the backbone of support for Rugby League in Group 21 of the Country Rugby League, providing financial support, sponsorship and a meeting venue for local teams.
The Centenary Plaques Programme was put in place by the Centenary of Rugby League Committee to commemorate sites of historical significance to Rugby League - such as stadiums, suburban grounds and club formation sites. Nearly every aspect of Australia’s Rugby League landscape is covered by a Centenary Plaque – with plaques dedicated to the commemoration of Indigenous Rugby League, National Rugby League (NRL) first-grade clubs, foundation clubs, former Premiership clubs, New South Wales and Queensland Country, and those sites which were host to the foundation of the game itself in Australia.
The plaque itself bears a prominent Centenary logo, the venue name, and a short paragraph of site-specific text on why the venue has been selected as a site of historical significance to Australian Rugby League
