When were the first rules made in rugby league?

Answer 1

The first rules of the game were not actually a set rule system The game was a mixture of soccer and what we see as Rugby now

The main rules were to kick the ball forward, passing whilst carrying was only allowed when retreating toward your own team, hack was allowed which was actually kicking the legs from beneath the ball carrier/player a scrum was actually more like a maul rucking was when a player fell holding the ball and everyone dived in to get it. the line out was not actually as we see as three were no real side lines. - The game rules came in 1872 when the RFU was finally formed and laws were created in London (UK) to make the game different to that of soccer
