Jack Harrison VC has been mentioned as the only rugby league pro to win a VC, something that has been widely reported for years. Looks like someone has been doing a bit of research and has uncovered two more men who played rugby league professionally and went on to win a VC. Their rugby league careers were not quite as spectacular as Jack's though which may explain how they have been overlooked for so long.
