League of Their Own (calendar)

League of Their Own 2006 is a black-and-white nude calendar[1] with 12 Australian rugby league footballers from the National Rugby League competition. The photos were taken by the Australian celebrity photographer Pedro Virgil.

The calendar was put on sale in December 2005 and was produced in the same erotic style that has made French rugby's annual Dieux du Stade calendars so successful, with the players being photographed nude separately in various locations, both indoors and outdoors. Proceeds from the sales of League Of Their Own 2006 went to the Koori Kids Foundation, an organization that uses sport to assist indigenous and non-indigenous Australian children living in rural and remote areas to achieve their goals and dreams in life. The 2005 Dally M Medal winner Johnathan Thurston was chosen to appear on the cover.

The calendar had the following players:

January - Amos Roberts (Sydney Roosters)
February - Ashley Harrison (South Sydney Rabbitohs)
March - Ryan McGoldrick (Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks)
April - Ben Ross (Penrith Panthers)
May - Brad Tighe (Newcastle Knights)
June - Liam Fulton (Wests Tigers)
July - Nick Youngquest (St George Illawarra Dragons)
August - Justin Hodges (Brisbane Broncos)
September - Riley Brown (Newcastle Knights)
October - Michael Witt (Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles)
November - Johnathan Thurston (North Queensland Cowboys)
December - Stuart Webb (Sydney Roosters)

Naked Rugby League (2007-08)

A fourteen-month calendar titled Naked Rugby League 2007-08 was sold the following year, with Brad Tighe and Ryan McGoldrick being replaced by Greg Bird from the Cronulla Sharks, Brent Webb from the New Zealand Warriors, Paul Whatuira from the Wests Tigers and an unknown mystery player, who was photographed from behind.

gollark: Oh, and the vaguely C-like syntax, but basically everything is that.

gollark: It's basically "Java, except slightly different and Microsoft".

gollark: It is the right channel. But C# isn't really C-ish except in the name.

gollark: I think this might not do what you want if someone is using it with unsigned 32-bit integers and not signed ones, but OH WELL.

gollark: Just negate the second thing, add that to the first thing, and check if the result is 0, negative (starts with 1), or positive (starts with 0).
