What did they use to invent rugby league?

Answer 1

The league code came about when (UK) northern clubs noticed that players were moving south, taking up employment and playing in the union code. This drained the northern union clubs. To halt this the northern unions wanted to pay players who would lose out having to give up work, or were unemployed. The UNIONS refused to allow this. In the end the Norther clubs developed their own LEAGUE system. and paid their player's. They opted out of union control, developed the rules of the game to remove may of the break downs , dropped the wind forward positions and moved the game forward. the Game was to be very fast and very entertaining. This drew in the supporters and when the game progressed to the Southern Hemisphere the game oped up even more. until the late 70's it was seem as a betrayal for a player to move from union to league. Indeed when it happened any player wishing to return to the union code were refused as they had been professional and union allowed only unpaid players.
