	Rugby league - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		Rugby league is one of the two codes of rugby, the other being rugby union.
		Rugby league's roots can be traced to early football history, like most forms of football, through the playing of ball games, which bear little resemblance to modern games.
		The Super League is a 12 team competition; currently all teams are from England.

	Super League (Europe) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Super League (Europe) is the only full-time professional rugby league competition operating in the northern hemisphere.
		The competition was first mooted during the Super League war as a way for Rupert Murdoch to gain the upper hand during the battle for supremacy with the Australian Rugby League.
		Promotion and relegation between Super League and the Rugby League National Leagues was re-introduced, and in 2002 the SLE governing body re-integrated fully into the Rugby Football League.

	Militant Moderate: The Coming Of A European Super League?
		The loyalty of the football market means that most Manchester United fans will ignore the FC United breakway, even when pushed into a European Super League, and follow their team to Munich, Milan and Madrid week in week out.
		Even if a Super League was to be created, it's possible this would be a long term solution rather than a short term one (expediency may dictate having as many games on offer to the viewer as possible).
		As one comment said the last time a European Super League was mooted, Murdoch was so keen to buy up screening rights for the Football League because he was well aware that in a few years time Torquay vs Northampton was the best he had to offer.

		That was the basis for the English Premier League, but the plans for a European Super League carried it one step further, allowing elite clubs to no longer share revenue or negotiate with the lesser lights of their own domestic top flights as well.
		On a worldwide scale, the Brazilian league isn't much of a league at all, rather it's a series of competitions which is why it wasn't accepted as a true domestic first division by Fifa until the late 1960's.
		If the proposed Super League in all of its many variances rely on the same rationales for running their league as they did for breaking away in the first place, there is a very real chance that they can fail structurally while succeeding economically.

		The Super League war, the financial problems of the 2000 Rugby League World Cup and the signing of several high-profile rugby league stars by the union game gave ammunition to this claim.
		Meanwhile, in Australia the Super League war came to an end, with News International and the Australian Rugby League agreeing to merge their competition to create the National Rugby League, which commenced in 1998.
