This is a very brief overview of RL in the UK over the last 60 years. If points are allocated based on success and on not just participation, which teams have been the achievers? Within the UK game, St Helens narrowly takes it from Wigan. If the World Club Challenge is added, amazingly Saints and Wigan can't be separated, with 463 points apiece.
Moving across to counties on the right of the chart, Yorkshire is the most successful with 44.4% of the total and 1,153 points. Yorkshire has more clubs so are ahead by virtue of that. Lancashire comes in on 40.3% and 1,047. Cheshire would be top if it was done as an average per club. For a small county not known as an RL hotbed, Cheshire has done well.
France, Cumbria and London have yet to make a significant mark on a game based along the M62 motorway which traverses west to east across the north of England.
