 Rugby league football has a place with some Sydneysiders, as a sporting and a tradition within the city.This stems back from the earlier colonial days of the city where the city and its cultural were largely dictated by wealthy Englishmen whom traditionally played and were supporters of the Rugby code of football, which was largely advertised and passed on to the people of Sydney, including the working class who in back in England largely played soccer.The game quickly grew a working-class following, and has been a Sydney tradition ever since.
