| I caught the tail end of an interview on the telly yesterday about the Yawion WC. I think it was Kieran Bracken(sp), and the main gist of what he said was something like
"There is less kicking, much more running and its much more entertaining, its more like Rugby League"
This morning for me its NRL Playoffs on at the same time as England v Argentina......................No contest.

| I occasionally watch about 10 minutes of union just to check that it really is that boring...
It really is that boring.
Really looking forward to the NRL play-offs.
The 7 quid a month for Premier Sports is cracking value for the ammount of matches you get.
Don't know what i'm going to do on a Sat/Sun morning when the season's over.

| It's not just boring, it's so damn irritating the way those toffs waffle on about it.

| It's a dreadful version of rugby. Stop start stop start and kicking for a penalty. West Tiger V St George yesterday was an intense game with lots of skill on show. For me rugby league wins hands down everytime. In union Ita just fat guys mauling each other on the floor!

| My favourite bit of Union is when about 20 forwards are all in a big heap near the try line. Pushing, pulling, stamping, scratching, no idea where the ball is at all, then low and behind the ref, clueless and bas blind as us goes. TRY!
I love that bit, so entertaining and then there's a kick to follow, I can't take the excitement.

Yep, and looking at the prices for the games, they pay a lot of money too. Maybe it's because toffs are inbred and stupid?
I mean, come on, look at Prince Williams teeth, he could eat an apple through a letterbox.

46042.jpg [quote="Bonzo":23qz4bj5]Corrected.
Incidentally, an exclamation mark ends a sentence and does not require a full stop. The first letter of the next word begins a new sentence and should therefore be capitalised. [i:23qz4bj5]Who needs flankers[/i:23qz4bj5]' grammar was actually correct.
HTH.

Don't forget the commentry with remarks such as "what a fantastic tackle" I still haven't seen one of those in union yet! The way Mason offloaded in his first ever game was embarrassing.

| How can you ignore it when it's everywhere and they constantly run our sport down and use their wealth to poach our players?
One try in 80 minutes.
Bet it was thrilling.

So is wenyball but you don't feel the need to have a thread about all the coverage they get. Get rid of that closed mind and you'll find your open new things in life
