Talk:Rugby league in England

message: Continuing on from the  discussion on the popularity of sports in Australia, here's a bit on the same in England.  A MORI poll in December 2003 asked "Which of these sports would you say you are interested in?".  The sports in order were: football (soccer), rugby union, swimming, snooker, tennis, athletics, motor racing, cricket, gym, golf, rugby league and boxing.  The MORI article that these statistics come from is about how England's victory in the 2003 Rugby World Cup effected Union's popularity, so the results are influenced by current events.  There are more statistics in another MORI article from 2003. This is the best I've been able to do in my short search. --ThirdEdition 03:20, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Feel free to fix these articles if you find things that appear to be wrong. Then, as you've done here, if you feel its neccessary, explain why you made the changes. We're not the wikipedia overlords, we're pretty good about letting people make changes to all these articles ;) After all, the more correct they are, they more man kind will benefit from them. And i dont know about anyone else, but thats why i create and edit articles. POds 03:49, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Interest in sport in Britain 

message: I'm not going to get into the debate of "historical" or "Real" or "Traditional" versus "administrative" counties but as far as I'm concerned Warrington and Widnes are in Lancashire as is St Helens (why do you think they all played in the Lancs cup) and as for "Cumbria", well I'd prefer Cumberland (Think sausages!)
However, seeing as "county councils" have come and gone over the past three decades, wouldn't it be better to put "Yorkshire and the north-west" ?
I'm not particularly impressed with your "derbies" section either, I mean "Cheshire" derby? "Calder" derby? "Humberside" urghhh! derby?  Ad nauseum.
:The Lancs cup did not take teams just from Lancashire, Cumbrian teams also entered. Widnes is in the traditional count of Lancashire but you are wrong about Warrington, it is split down the middle between Lancs and Cheshire. Cumbria also predates 'Cumberland' by centuries. County councils still exist. People use the terms Cheshire / Calder / Humberside derbies albeit not very often, if you can find a better term then add it but please don't delete terms which are in use.GordyB 21:22, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Things you may wish to improve:
* The computer games needs to be either linked to a main article, or have info about the game
* As with Rugby League nine
Over all article is structured well, above could be improved as could a couple of other parts of the article. I will put it on hold for you. So you can make the improvements.  ¢нαzα93  08:19, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

I have put it up for peer review and will give a thourogh review of the article. (See the link on the WikiProject RUgby league template to see the review).

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I'm putting this discussion here as the Rugby league in England page is the most developed, but it affect the pages of Rugby league in Wales, Rugby league in Scotland, Rugby league in Ireland, and particularly Rugby league in the British Isles.
The Rugby league in the British Isles pages has essentially been a redirect page to those of the home nations but due to the history of Rugby League acting as a whole in Great Britain for most of it's history and the league system being British I feel it should be expanded.
I have started this but looking at the "History" section on the home nations pages I've noticed a more British feel to the tone and a lot of similar information (especially between England and Wales). I think that these pages should focus more on the history within the respective home nations and have a overview of British history of Rugby League on the Rugby league in the British Isles page. In addition, a lot of the information isn't referenced so may need removal.
Also seen as Ireland has no administration over the Great Britain national rugby league team, the Rugby league in the British Isles page may need renaming to "Rugby league in Great Britain".
Thoughts? Mn1548 (talk) 16:33, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
