James J. Giltinan, well known in cricket (he was an umpire) and Horseracing circles was also founder of the NSW Rugby League and one of its first life members. The breakaway code resulted from dissatisfaction by Rugby Union players with conditions particularly non-compensation for injuries, causing financial stress. Matters came to a head in 1907 when top forward Alec Burdon was badly injured and not compensated for medical costs and loss of earnings. The famous meeting followed in the room above Victor Trumper's Spoerts Goods store. He became first secretary of the NSW Rugby League and organised the first Kangaroo tour of England in 1908-9.
