Hippo I will try to answer this for you . Hope you dont mind Paul.



The history of rugby league as a separate form of rugby football goes back to 1895 in Huddersfield, Northern England when the Northern Rugby Football Union broke away from the established Rugby Football Union to administer its own competition.[1] Similar schisms started occurring later in Australia and New Zealand in 1907, and the new governing bodies gradually changed the rules of their sport, creating a new professional form of rugby football.



Swinton and Pendlebury are the oldest rugby League club. and I think liverpool St Helens is the oldest rugby Union club .



But the Best club in the world without a doubt is Wigan RLFC I think Wigan atheltic are trying to emulate our rugby club with the amount of goals they are losing by LOL .

been marked man most of season but no one has touched him-wigan has a heck of a lot of talent over the years such as robinson offiah radlinski just to name a few of the clubs greats-i dont fear leeds or st helens anymore this is our time gone are the dark days lets get back to the glory days-biggest threat will be warrington i reckon
