When did ‘scrimmage’ become part of the rugba league vernacular?
Hmm I think it's still in the ARL rule book. It's just an older word for scrum?

Scrummage - Scimmage - Scrum
The RL scrum has passed in to history, just like inside and outside centres.A scrimmage was (or maybe still is) a light form of scrummage. But a scrimmage can also mean a fight and nothing to do with football.
A 20th century style RU scrum, or even a rugby league pre 1980s scrum, is what was envisaged by the word scrummage or scrummaging.
What rugby league (20th century version of the play-the-ball) and American football ('snap'/'down') have after every tackle is more what scrimmage meant. Scrum-lite if you like. Scrimmage is still a word used in American football.
The word scrimmage is used with rugby league reports for most of the 20th century but not a lot.

Definition of 'scrum' - or Scrummage or Scrimmage (see Section 12). Where a team loses the advantages of the “Loose Head” and “Put-in” the scrum is said to be awarded against that team.
Watched the 78 GF a couple of weeks ago, should see the way the front rowers back then used to go in to pack a scrum, penalties left right and centre would be blown from todays whistleblowers.The RL scrum has passed in to history, just like inside and outside centres.
Now when the forwards get their heads together it's to discuss which influencers they are following.
Guess that means Humphreys is in the top 30, which I hadn't realised.Player profiles updated

Weights and heights will be adjusted prior to season kick offExcept nobody has bothered to measure or weigh Jamie Humphreys.
Interesting of true we have lost 2 outside backs from the Top 30 in last week if you include Parks going into the forwards.
So Brad's still a centre and Jake's still a lockPlayer profiles updated
