'Rugby League' meaning

a respectable sport. Until these fans insult Australian Rules Football atrociously on this site. This shames the sport into nothing but an excuse to for prison rapists to get fresh air and grab testicles.
Example: dude 1: Hey rugby is great!!! dude 2: Yeah...yeah...it was, until I found out some fans are trolls who love to rip on the Australian Rules Football fans and the game. Now this proves that a distrubing majority of fans and players and former or current rapists/misfits in normal society.

A professional offshoot of the sport of Rugby Union long before Union went professional itself. Originally intended for the working class of Northern England who couldn’t afford the Saturday off working in the mines, it somehow also took a root in SydneyAustralia. Thanks to using some American style professional practices such as endlessly promoting the sport to adolescent mindset’s and prostituting their clubrooms as gambling venues it’s now the major code in the Australian State of New South Wales and the working class bogans of this state have spread the game with their migration to their northern neighbour in Queensland. Sadly the extent to the promotion of this sport has rendered many of its followers ignorant of not only the wider world, where Rugby still remains a fringe sport in its home nation England and amongst the absolute (and Australian imitating) refuse of New Zealand but they’re completely isolated from the existing communities of Association Football, Australian Rules football and Rugby Union within their own states. They really think that this now redundant game which the rest of mankind not immersed in finds; boring, low skilled, gauche, with stupid rules, for gutter trash, played by apes and like a strange version of Rugby more akin to professional wrestling is somehow important in the wider scheme of things. They really don’t realize just what they’re missing out on.
Example: Typical New Zealander: Oh well, we can paint the house now, Sky sport's filling in with Rugby League for the rest of the day.

Professional code of football, dominant in NSW and Queensland, and with a strong presence in the ACT and Northern Territory, As noted above, it is strong in its original home of Yorkshire and Lancashire in the UK, and is also played in the South of France, Has a strong presence in PNG, and competes with Rugby Union in Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, and New Zealand. Many islanders migrate to Australia to play the game (as they do for Rugby Union as well).
The game has 13 players, with four on the interchange bench, however like Rugby Union it has tournaments that are seven-a-side or nine-a-side. And like Rugby Unipon and AFL,it has a number of women’s leagues too.
Both definitions above contain a common “error” – Rugby League is never called “Rugby” in any region where it’s actually played; it is called NRL, League, or simply football. It is only ever called “Rugby” in places where it’s basically not played, such as Victoria – probably because those poor blighters don’t even know the difference between Rugby Union and Rugby League.
Example: The Rugby League played in Sydney is the best in the world.
