 The club was founded in 2006 by Nathan Price Saleh, a Welsh dual-code rugby player playing for Grimsby RUFC.Despite being just across the River Humber from the rugby league stronghold of Hull, there is no record of a club ever playing in the area.Therefore, the game between the Rabbitohs and East Riding in the MML on 13 May 2006 can be considered to be the first competitive game of rugby league in North-East Lincolnshire.
