Why has everyone got such a problem with union. yes a lot of league players are going to union at the moment but that is because of the money and league needs more money in the game.

if there was no rugby union, we wouldnt have the great game of rugby league!

Yes a lot of you will think union is boring and that is all well but i dont know why some of us league fans have such a problem with union.

People have a problem with union as it's a game played by snootie southern folk, who fail to even comprehend that RL is a sport.

Everything about union is 'gash'. Too many fat blokes on 1 pitch, not enough skill - a team can stay in possession for the last 10 mins, just to waste time. I'm proud to say I never watched 1 minute of this years world cup.

The way they tempt the League players to switch codes, for them to play them out of position, and then return to League a couple of years later with shot confidence.

I hate the fact that the RFU obviously look at the Non-English talent in the league game and say "Get your self a union club and we'll have you playing for England." Even though said players have already confirmed their allegiance with their home country.

One of my best Bulls memory was watching them lift the sevens RU cup a few years back - really showed the difference between the athletes at that time. Not 1 team came close to beating the bulls. Even though the bulls never contended a 'mound' on the floor.

I don't hate union, it just disappoints me how much publicity the sport gets compared to ours, when the reality is that League is a far more skillful and entertaining sport. I don't think anyone can argue any differently really.

This sums it up for me...

they are both played different but league is seriously more entertaining and never come across a union fan that can persuade otherwise.

I have watched many of the world cup games as i would still rather watch union than football and it is so frustrating when you see they have a real good opportunity to score if they put the ball through hands but instead some fat git fast walks forward straight into the defence. but suppose when you can get 3 point for drop goals and penalties i can see why they do it.

I think they need to review the scoring drops down to 1 and 2 for penalties likes ours and they might try score more tries!!

Yes we would. Before 1895 there was no Rugby Union (in terms of a game - there was an organisation) just Rugby or perhaps Rugby Football.

Rugby Union has no more claim to the games' history pre-1895 than Rugby League.

The reason is simple. It's all to do with money. There's a lot more of it in Union than there is in League. League is in a catch 22 situation. It needs big money investment in the sport but can't get it because it doesn't get enough media attention and it can't get the media attention it needs without big money investment.

and i bet you think Webb Ellis created the game!

On the same note you could also say if it wasn't for Union there wouldn't have been football icon_rolleyes.gif

They didn't want to go "independent" they wanted paying for broken time, read the history of the three main professional ball playing sports in this country and you might be surprised!

Noooooo! The two sports split apart, one went one way one went the other. Before they split apart it was the same game... Think about it rugby union never turned into rugby league.

It's like evolution, Chimpanzees didn't evolve into humans! They just share a common ancestor.
