Yet his post remains, which tells you all you need to know about the. VT and it’s true agenda.

| Having watched the rather embarrassing Varsity match, they may have superior intellect but they were dreadful at Rugby. RL should do a University Challenge show with 8 prop/SR forwards on it in reply.

Might be embarrassing to you but the RU alone is valued at £1billion. What is the RFL valued at? A kit kat and a packet of wotsits?

And One Direction had a higher earning potential than some of the greatest musicians who ever lived. If the value you place on something is based purely on it's earning potential I hope you enjoyed creaming yourself as you listened to Harry and the boys.

47,000 people watched the All Blacks defeat Australia in Japan in October......7,000 more than witnessed Australia defeat England in the RLWC final in 2017 in Brisbane.........read that back again and let it sink in. Brisbane is supposedly a RL hotbed, but there were 12,000 empty seats at the RLWC Final, featuring the home side.....whilst 47,000 curious Japanese were prepared to watch a neutral test.
You may not like Union, or One Direction, but your attempt to belittle the bigger and more popular code just underlines your insecurity and uneasiness when it's compared to League.
For a game that we often describe as The Greatest, it is strange that we struggle to attract fans, sponsors and TV viewers whilst "one direction/Union" don't have that problem ![Very Happy icon_biggrin.gif](images/smilies//icon_biggrin.gif)

Rugby league fans and that massive chip on their shoulder have been using derogatory terms for rugby union since the times of Adam and Eve but that’s ok! It’s allowed, but if rugby players say it about rugby league, well, we can’t have that can we!!'"
Yes I’m fully aware of laws I was a young lad when I joined here and considered changing my screen name but I’ve posted with it a long while.
I couldn’t care less what we say about union because a lot of the general intelligent discussion about the game comes to a general conclusion the slowness and silly kicking every set does not appeal to a league fan.
You call them rugby players you are clearly here on the wind up with your god knows how many’th account.
Merry Christmas troll hope you’ve had a pleasant one my new year will be more pleasant foeing you and not seeing your tripe

I personally can enjoy all kinds of physical sport from athletics, rugby, darts to curling each can have their degree of excitement, however I must have to admit I have fallen out with football who have taken their sport to a disgusting greed that I can only wish it would implode'"
Sorry snowie people say far less about Wakefield and you spit your dummy
I agree with your football stance though. It’s become a different game than I used to love. Money hasnt helped but that’s not the players fault but I agree we will lose out because of sky’s obsession

Comparing the two codes of rugby and the music industry is a perfect analogy. You can fool the masses easily by putting time, money and effort into promoting something inferior to appear superior.
Not just One Direction but all modern pop and RnB chart music is awful but they are all household names and sell out gigantic stadium tours. There are no redeeming features to most of the songs in the charts, it is all instantly forgettable and they will no way on Earth still be played on the radio in fifty years’ time.
Then on the other hand there are fantastic bands around that play to small audiences in small venues who 97.5% (maybe more) of the population have never heard of. Take the band who have produced my favourite album of the year this year; The Fernweh (and their self-titled debut album). It wipes the floor with any album by any artist in the year’s top40 pop/RnB chart, I mean, FFS, I believe LadBaby was the UK Christmas #1. But the Fernweh only played upstairs in the pub Gulliver’s on Oldham Street when they came to Manchester.
Rugby union could be a good game, has got better as it has sped up in the last five years or so, but a good game of rugby league is miles better than rugby union. Just because the TV companies’ bias as well as investment and promotion of the game is bigger, thus, they get more exposure and greater crowds, it doesn’t mean it’s a better game than rugby league. Just means the old boys network who are at the head of these investment companies and tv companies push the two sports in the direction they want them to go in.

When I see stuff like that it makes me cringe, it ties in with the stereotype that RL fans are thick northern idiots who drink too much. Wheeling out at the test match at Anfield to speak to he crowd, that flat cap wearing idiot who is on youtube speyking reyt northern like does not help either.

| Rugby union is loved all around the world. Rugby league is loved in the north of England and south east of Australia. The sooner people stop falling for the “greatest game” rubbish the sooner we can start rebuilding the game because it isn’t. It’s a pale imitation of what it used to be. Wheras rugby union has become easily the more skilful code
