From International Interactive Rugby League
OUR STORY
The International Interactive Rugby League Community is a group of fantasy rugby league enthusiasts from all around the world who run the numerous competitions that make up the Community. These competitions include the world-famous IIRL Premiership VIII - the world's premier world wide competition, as well as competitions with competitors from Australia, New Zealand, England, Russia, United States of America, Papua New Guinea and the rest of the world!
The IIRL Community itself is led and run by Martin "Earthquake" Lester who could be described as a jack of all trades. EQ is the one who gives out affiliate competitions, puts together the starting blocks of Community websites and makes sure everything runs smoothly.
When it comes to the gaming side - there can only be one man who makes things work, who runs the games in the Premiership and is generous enough to allow affiliates to use the excellent software that runs our Community called RLSim, he is Graeme "Gek" Kirk.
