CDMullins 435 Posted June 29, 2013 [quote user="crabbycanary"]Union is greatLeague is full of muscle monkeys[/quote]Why invent a game in which you can pick the ball up and run with it, then just kick it to each other.My local area is very League orientated. Super League is Good, NRL is much better but the State Of Origin is the pinnacle, even more so than the World Cup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crabbycanary 2 Posted June 29, 2013 Both codes could learn from each other, and football could learn a hell of a lot from both Union and League.CDMullins - why do League players persist on trying to show their machismo, by running into people all the time? It''s all about the ball surely?!! Some great comments, as always, from learned people, I see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,093 Posted June 29, 2013 Nice one JvC.[:)] This post was just meant to be a friendly reminder to those interested that the Lions game was due to start on Sky, and was not intended to induce a tirade of abuse against the game of Ruby Union. We each have our likes and dislikes after all. For the record, I thoroughly enjoyed that eighty odd minutes, although the result was disappointing in the end. The yellows won then! Never mind, all set up for a Grand Finale next week. The Ashes starts soon bye the way. Duck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And to be honest without been rude, they wernt very clever.Exactly, we could take alot from Rugby, the way players speak to and respect the referee, the way they accurate time games and of course Video technology.Id much rather watch a poor game of RL than a average PL game.
