[edit] Official name

Shouldn't this article be names St Helens RLFC???

They are "officially" RFC, this is how they are listed as a company [1]. On teh saints website they in fact use RLC (no F) though. Grinner 09:43, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

I would have though they should be RLFC as well - I'll look into it Rehnn83 11:06, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nation identifiers

Shouldn't Keiron Cunningham have the Welsh flag rather than the English flag next to his name? Although born in England, he plays for the Welsh national team. I've looked on a few other sports pages on here & players seem to be classed by country played for rather than country of birth. RC4282

Agreed KC plays for Wales (Sadly :-() - Have Changed --Rehnn83 11:12, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] County representation

Would I be correct in saying that players first registered by St Helens would be eligible to play in a representative team for Lancashire (in, say, the Origin Series) and that no such team exists for Merseyside? Yorkshire Phoenix (talk • contribs) 08:08, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Correct. The traditional boundaries of Lancashire take in most of Greater Manchester and Merseyside (as well as Barrow and the Furness peninsula) and hence they are 'Lankies' as far as origin goes. Strictly speaking since Blackpool is now no longer part of Lancashire as defined by the government, it is true to say that there are no pro or even semi-pro teams in Lancashire at all.GordyB 14:22, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
