Rugby League was created by a group of north England clubs who broke away from the Rugby Union. This was because many players in the north moved south where there was more employment at the time. The northern clubs saw the talent draining and wanted to allow players to have money from gate fees paid to them to help supplement their poor or no wages. The RFU refused as the game would be considered Professional in that manner and they wanted to keep it amateur. The clubs in the north decided that they would create a "Rugby League" of their own and pay players, They changes team sizes and some of the rules to make it different slightly to the Union Code.
