From the Publisher:

The game of rugby league had a brand new name to conjure with in 2006. For years, London's leading professional club struggled to build support. But following an historic, daring and controversial partnership with one of the bastions of the union game, the future for rugby league in the capital suddenly looked a lot brighter. Chronicling the first season of Harlequins Rugby League, A Pastel Revolution delves deep into the club's psyche and explodes numerous myths and misconceptions. In the book readers will:

* Find out why multi-millionaire chairman Ian Lenagan has made it his mission to turn Harlequins RL into one of the major forces in the British game.
* Discover which player has overcome huge personal tragedy to become a star.
* Learn just why the club made the bold but risky decision to change its head coach at such a crucial stage in the season.
* Read in-depth and revealing interviews with players such as Mark McLinden, Danny Williams and rising young star Michael Worrincy.
* And revel in the fighting spirit of the supporters who have followed the club through thick and thin - and from identity to identity - for the last 26 years.

This is a book about survival, loyalty and hope. Fans of both rugby codes will love it.
