I thought rl started in England ? Itβs an indigenous game to England? The international part of rl growth includes Australia ?
History of Rugby League / Rugby league began in 1895, as the 'Northern Union', when clubs in the North of England broke away from the RFU. The clubs wanted to compensate their working-class players for time away from work for rugby tours and injuries.

No no no
We have been reliably told by a poster on here that RL started in Canada in 1861.
Lol he wouldn't be making that up would he .

Lol
He's so stupid he didnt even catch on that I posted one of his laughable bullshit claims .
Just keep ranting while we laugh
You know he's struggling when he pulls out the Gilligan rant .
& no one has claimed that RL is big on the international stage .
It's small .
But compared to fumbles internationally it's a giant .
& that eats you up
Re: How does it feel knowing Australians embraced Rugby League yet English rejected AFL?
But not professional gridiron, baseball or ice hockey. Must all be lemons
Ice hockey has professional teams in the USA & Canada as well as a professional league in Russia.
Gridiron has the NFL is USA and the CFL in Canada.
Baseball has professional teams in both Canada and the USA.
Is also professional in Japan with a huge following.
You see, so all these sports have grown successfully in other countries.
But because AFL is so very silly. Points for missing, no crossbar, atrocious ball skills, bouncing an oval ball on the ground
Playing so called football on a cricket field.
This has caused AFL to not be a sport that any other country can take seriously at a professional level.

I think Canadian gridiron is different to American Gridiron.... I think even different playing field size and numbers on the ground. Similar indeed but different but not as different as say the two rugby codes.

Yes there are differences. But they are still both Gridiron football.
