The teams listed here are the highest-rated teams, relative to the strength of the top teams at the time, of every professional club.
In some cases, the ratings appear out of order, but this is because overall ratings generally increase each year.
For some clubs, especially the team that began life as Wigan Highfield and ended as Prescot Panthers, separate ratings have been listed for the different incarnations. Others, such as the various phoenix clubs (e.g. Bradford Bulls, Hunslet), have been treated as one entity for this list.
