Yorkshire teams this season have won the SL championship, the WCC, the Championship title, the Championship 1 title and League leaders shield and provided both finalists for the National Rail Cup. We also has the Championship league leaders shkield winners. For this season, at least, Yorkshire are the biggest RL region.

The lack of any good football in the Yorkshire region is probably a good reason for there being more interest and pride in Yorkshire RL.



Outside of Wigan, St Helens, Warrington and Widnes, interest in Rugby League is pretty much non-existant west of the Pennines, which isn't helped by having 4 of the most famous and successful English football clubs in the area.



RL in the Manchester area for example is dying on its , a combination of poor sides, successful football clubs and also a huge change in the ethnic set up of those communities.
