Is it being televised, and how much are the players being paid? Is there a big sugar daddy behind it, and have the ARL/ARU got involved? Are we not just treating the US as guinea pigs for when the Aussies finally get round to their game?

Like I've said before, adopting Union rules is completely flawed since League is just Union with 100 years worth of improvement to the rules. The fact that Union is still played and regarded as a sport in its own right is a disgrace. Making RL players play Union would be like making footballers play with a pig's bladder.

Well said Headhunter,our game has evolved whilst yawnion has been stuck in the nineteenth century.

This game was already played. Axemen won 30-14.

When was this.

Last week I think. rlReport here.rl And several albiums of photos from the game rlhere.rl

May I also introduce you to the Jacksonville Axe Maidenshttps://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs138.snc4/37229_452170289664_73374354664_5818650_1921668_n.jpg" >

I remember watching one of these matches in Bradford. The Union half was really boring as all they did was keep it tight around the rucks and mauls. The League half was better, but the lack of defense by the union side in sliding etc was just woeful and it was probably the most boring match i've ever watched.

The worst part was at the end hearing some local union fans go " that rugby league is so boring. There's no skill level involved at all." I usually keep my mouth shut but had to say something.. When i did all he moaned about was scrums and lineouts.

As has been said already.. League took union rules and improved.

Just this season the Super 14 ( premier competition of union ) introduced a new rule. When someone gets tackled, the tackler has to roll away from the tackle to speed up the rucks.. Sounds very familiar!

I started reading the linked article and got to this in the second paragraph... "LEAGUE believes their game is more like American Football with set downs and plays "

Needless to say, I didn't continue

It is though.

not sure about that man in the middle!

That would only be true if union was exactly the same game now as it was then. It isn't. The rules of union have also changed, but on a different path.

Come on Wellsy be honest yawnion is miles behind RL in every way.

The ARL will now be know as the 'A'NFL.
