Rugby League
Rugby League - The Fast-Paced, Hard-Hitting Sport
Introduction
Rugby League is a physically demanding, high-intensity sport that combines strength, speed, and strategy. Originating in England in 1895, it has since grown into a major sport, especially in countries like Australia, England, New Zealand, and France.
How the Games is Played
Rugby League is played on a rectangular field measuring 100 meters long and 68 meters wide, with H-shaped goalposts at both ends. The objective is to score more points than the opposing team by carrying or kicking the ball over the try line or through the goalposts.
A match consists of two halves of 40 minutes each, with a short halftime break. The team in possession has six tackles to advance the ball before they must kick or hand it over to the opposition. The game restarts with a scrum, tap restart, or kick-off, depending on the situation.
Key Rules & Positions
Scoring in Rugby League:
Try (4 points) – A player grounds the ball in the opponent’s in-goal area.
Conversion (2 points) – After a try, a kick is taken to add extra points.
Penalty Goal (2 points) – Awarded for a foul, kicked through the posts.
Drop Goal (1 point) – A drop kick that goes through the posts during open play.
Key Positions:
Forwards (Numbers 8-13) – The strongest players, responsible for tackling and gaining territory.
Backs (Numbers 1-7) – The faster, more agile players, who create scoring opportunities.
Fullback (Number 1) – The last line of defense and often a key attacking player.
Halfbacks (Numbers 6 & 7) – Playmakers who control the game and dictate strategy.

About The App
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
