And to prove convict creations is a Union site, have a look at how many countries it has down that play RL..

5, yet a massive 5 countries play RL according to convict creations.

Have a look at the playing numbers, it has Union almost on par with RL in Australia.

FFS, it has AFL being played in 2 countries.

It's a piece of $$$$ site.

Do you know what games Phoenix have been playing in.?
They are playoff games.!

Wellington Hurricanes themselves will get over 30000 in a semi final play off game easy.

I checked Wellington Phoenix first 2 homes games they had 9k and 10k.

So its utter rubbish.!'"

11,000 are terrible crowds for S14.

Quote: eels fan "This is about Rugby is it not?

So what has boggerball got to do with it?

And if you must know, the NRL gets more people watching the game on TV out here than the boggerball.

And lastly, Convict creations is a union site, run by halfwits that post anything they hear in a pub conversation as fact.'"


WOW just WOW... you RL lot got a massive chip on your shoulder.

You brought up Soccer i never mentioned it.?

You have to compare like for like otherwise yuo havent a valued argument.?

and i found a piece of fact on net that doesnt back up what you say thats all.

No sport can compete with soccer its world dominant unfortunatly.

You can say that about crowds at leeds(when in top flight) footy compared to rhinos. salford to Man U or man city. liverpool to wire/saints, urs/nal/west ham/reading to quins. you can do the same to all union compared to soccer you just cant compete.

i have googled NRL i thought this was a british site i thought you was on about Northern rail.

Isnt that the only team they have in A League though.?

How many S14 sides in NZ.?

You have to compare like for like mate or no valid argument.

There are 5 S14 teams who all average over 10000.

Umm, isn't this a RL site?

If so, what are you doing here arguing about RL then?

Wouldn't it be you that has the chip seeing as you've gone out of your way to find something to argue about?

Quote: garethtaylor15 "You brought up Soccer i never mentioned it.?'"


Show me, show me where I mentioned or brought up the sokka please.

Quote: garethtaylor15 "You have to compare like for like otherwise yuo havent a valued argument.?'"


I did, I showed you that Union in Australia can't compete with RL, infact, I showed you that Union in NZ, Aus and south Africa is smaller than RL in Australia by itself.

Quote: garethtaylor15 "and i found a piece of fact on net that doesnt back up what you say thats all.'"


You found no facts what so ever, every part of that site is bull and it's dated from as far back as 2005-06 icon_wink.gif

The art of Rugby League Tactics According to Dally Messenger "Just use dummy runners":



Quote: Cronus "Perhaps at Union, but let your Union backline run at a good SL defence in a game of League and they'll get torn apart.

In EVERY cross-code challenge, the Union side has been torn to shreds in open play, and when they've won they've rucked, mauled and scrummed their way to victory.

I like Union (well, used to like it more before it turned to sht), but the sheer workrate of League players is something else. Union backs do naff all for most of the game. Running the line is nothing like fielding a kick and having to make ground into the opposition pack, or scooting from the first tackle into a fired-up League defence.

Shane Williams? Decent enough. Would get hurt in SL at the moment. Nippy. Destitute man's Jason Robinson.'"


This is just a load of crap, perpetuated by your average league fan. The backs in the guiness premiership poo all over the super duper league backs from a massive height. They are faster, stronger and far more skillful, because you see, league is going backwards. The game is just like a huge game of british bulldog where the fittest survive.

Gareth Thomas will tear it up in SL, even at the age of 36 and will be even more embarassment for our game

RU winger touches the ball once a game

please, lets not talk about any backs in union like they have any skill

FFS andy farell at 33 with crocked knees managed to play outside centre for england RU team, thats how s**t and slow they are

and the union players freaked at his passing skills as well

The backs in English union are better athletes than the league guys. They get the first pick and a much bigger pool. They do ruin them though and a nice stint in league would sort them out
