For the love of god just call it Yorkshire and Lancashire. I don't acknowledge any of these artificially gerrymandered counties!

And to answer your question, West side of the pennines (Yorkshire) as we invented the game.

Without the White Rose county, we're not even having this discussion!

Warrington have won a respectable amount of silverware over the years, no less than Widnes.

warrington -34 major trophies ( championship/challenge cup/regal trophy/county league/county cup/premierships)
widnes-32 ( same criteria,although widnes have also won the national league title and national cup twice )

so by my reckoning warrington have won more major silverware than widnes

And how many times have you won the World Club Challenge?

You've only been here a short time, so I'll put it straight for you. Stop feeding the troll. WidnesJohn doesn't engage in rational discussion, he is a p***k.

Just ignore him and he will go away.

In terms of players it has to be the west, by a mile or ginnell or snicket or whatever you northerners call it.
