Talk:History of rugby league

message: This article currently claims that the first official use of "rugby league" was both in 1901 in England, and 1907 in NSW. The NSW claim does have the qualification "by an organising body", but I would have thought the use described in the "schism in Great Britain" section was by an organising body, just not as the name of an organising body. Could someone please clarify? It seems that something, either here or at Rugby league in Australia needs to be corrected. JPD (talk) 15:56, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

message: When was it made legal to play on a Sunday? I ask because it was illegal until some time as the players didn't get accident insurance. I would assume that this would be something important in the article. Does anyone know. I googled but didn't get any answers.

message: This page is weak on the history of British Rugby League and television, implying that nothing happened until the 1960s. In fact, RL was one of the first mainstream sports to let itself be televised on a regular basis (starting sometime in the early 1950s).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by LondonLouis2 (talk • contribs) 12:54, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

message: According to the article, the foundation year of both Runcorn and, Stockport is 1895. However, Samuel Houghton won an England (RU) cap while at Runcorn in 1892. I believe Runcorn (RU) became Runcorn (RL) in 1895, so they will have existed as an RU club on, or before, 1892. Does anyone know of Runcorn's actual foundation year, and whether Stockport's foundation year is also possibly erroneous? Best Regards. DynamoDegsy (talk) 09:16, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

message: AnomieBOT has dated the "merge tag" of Jeff97 on the 1897 Challenge Cup Final article for the background section and subsections therein to be merged with this article. 
* Support. The article for the Cup final is in my opinion worthy of retention as it seeks to broaden the information available on the early days of Rugby League, especially due to the sparsity of resources for identifying early round ties featuring lesser known teams. That said, the background section does repeat much of what appears in this article. Therefore I would suggest any new information in the Cup Final background not in this article be merged.Rimmer1993 (talk) 15:06, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Support Merge The current background section should be merged in here. A new background section should then be written to talk about why the challenge cup was being played, was this the first cup? etc etc...actual background on the 1897 challenge cup...Mattlore (talk) 19:37, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
