Best Answer

The league code was the for-runner of the professional game. Now the union code has created its own professional and semi profession groups. This was undertaken because of the falling numbers staying in the union code and moving to the league code. Added to this was the fact that demand on the amateur union players were that same as the professional players - This caused issues of retention in the game
