No! 117 years since the Northern half of the game split away, we are as old as the game of Rugby is dont let the unenlightened half of the game steal our history as well as our players. Mind you it is worth celebrating the split.

Bet you're great fun at parties.
If we are being technical the birth was when football started.
But either way is fine |

Bah, it would be 118 if it hadnt been for the incompetent RFL, too many aussies over here and Wigan breaking the salary cap - in fact now you mention it I'm ripping up my season ticket as I am totally disillusioned with the game.  |

Please tell me you don't believe the Webb Ellis story? Rugby is not an offshoot from Association Football. |

All forms of football come from the first football game. In the same way American football and Aussie Rules did.
The WWE story is clearly made up but someone somewhere had to decide to do something different and they were kicking the ball before us so it implies we developed from that.
Either way, Rugby League was born the day they decided to split. Rugby was born when someone decided what the rules of rugby were a few years earlier. |

I never knew wrestling had something to do with the beginnings of RL, you learn something new everyday on RLFans |

The weekend of fixtures nearest to the 29th August could be a perfect time for a "heritage round" with proper RL jerseys, and everything.

I think the past is a lot more murky than that - there's a lot of evidence to suggest that "football" (before it was formalised in the Association Football rules) was so named because the game was played 'on foot', as opposed to on horseback. Don't fall in to the trap of thinking it's called football because you can only play at the ball with the foot, the very early Association Football rules allowed handling of the ball!
Quote PopTart="[urlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_the_Game_(association_football)[/url"
If a player makes a fair catch, he shall be entitled to a free kick, providing he claims it by making a mark with his heel at once; and in order to take such kick he may go back as far as he pleases, and no player on the opposite side shall advance beyond his mark until he has kicked.'" |
