Como Jannali Rugby League Football Club is a junior and amateur rugby league football club founded in late 1947 before competing in their inaugral season a year later. The club is based out of Como where it's headquarters are located and usually draws on the large majority of it's players from that suburb and the neighbouring Jannali.
The clubhouse is located on Scylla Bay oval in Como, New South Wales, across from the famous Como Hotel. The club competes in the Sutherland Shire local league and has one of the more considerable records. The original colours of the Rugby League club are still debated but they have for a long time been green, to reflect the abundant wildlife and bush in the Sutherland Shire, and white. Como also is known for its lack of mascot, preferring the unpretentious and unadorned football as its emblem.
They are lovingly known as 'The Mighty Mo's' by fans and locals alike and field teams from Under 8 age groups all the way to A Grade.
The idea of forming a club out of the Como/Jannali area first came about after four players from Como were playing with the Oatley A-Grade side and in 1946 began discussions and plans into forming a more local club for themselves and local residents who had expressed interest in a club being formed there.
In 1947 a meeting was held at the Como School of Arts where after long discussions all agreed to form the club.
