Quote: Cronus "If you think Aussies don't take ANY competition against us Poms seriously, you're sadly deluded.
It could be a game of pool, a pub argument, or the WCC - they want to win, just as much as we want to win.
These ocker fools posting on here have no idea whatsoever - they can see their teams looks distraught or elated according to the result just like the rest of us, yet choose to ignore the obvious and bleat on about a 'trial' game. I can only assume none of them have ever actually played.
You'd have thought Melbourne had just won the NRL Grand Final from the way they reacted to their final try and the final hooter. Leaping around, whooping, cheering, going mad like a schoolboy side.'"
in other sports we might get decent competition at it.
but when it comes to RL, we own the sport.
most aussies would be shocked to learn that the game came from england. i was most surprised to find your nation invented the sport
id always associated england with non contact sports like soccer, cricket or union.
