Re: dlowan rules
Pardon me while I digress, people. The following is for
epenthesis' benefit. The rest of you can go and get a coffee or whatever while I indulge in my dummy spit. I thank you for your patience.

Crikey! There's one at every party! So I hit a typo! Give the man a kewpie doll! No flies on him - but you can sure see where they've been!
Does it really matter?
In the 1930's they were one of the earliest teams in the competition.
In the 1950's they were one of the earliest teams in the competition.
In the 1990's they were one of the earliest teams in the competition.
In the 2000's they were one of the earliest teams in the competition.
In the 1900's they were one of the earliest teams in the competition.
So I took a bit of literary licence, knowing that I was trying to simply give a bit of background to the crux of the story, which was DON'T PROVOKE THE BUNNY.
The 1930's was the time of the Great Depression. Using that date was intended to set the stage in readers minds of impoverished, determined men who would face much adversity and hardship to survive - the rabbitohs, and to equate the ethos of the people of South Sydney at that time with the tough, never-say-die attitude often displayed by a certain white-furred member of A2K.
I was not writing a treatise on Rugby League, or on the South Sydney Rabbitohs (they are not even my team). I did not see a need to Wiki-up a detailed history of either Souths or Rugby League. I was aiming at an audience of people who wouldn't know or care about Rugby League if they fell over it.
Get a life.
