To you, maybe.

Doesn't mean all League fans have to carry that opinion. I've seen some pretty entertaining games of Union that were way ahead of some of the dross served up in SL.

ive seen lots of decent ru games, but my point was how come some posters would rather constantly discuss failings of other sports (that have an international footprint we can only dream about) than focus on ours. it smacks of an inferiority complex

That's exactly what it is. RL as a sport attracts the jealous, chip on the shoulder, class warrior types it deserves.

No wonder blue chip companies shy away from it.

In Your Opinion!

Of course!

And apparently the opinion of the major blue chip sponsors too!

No they just enjoy the corporate hospitality and don't know didley about sport!
If they did they'd be somewhere else.

is it beyond your comprehension that other people may actually like different sports? or do u dismiss everyone who doesnt like the same things as you as not being capable of understanding anything? good grief

I can see the merits and entertainment value in almost anything and can judge quite accurately the levels of support and courage they deserve but Union has very little in terms of entertainment yet enjoys coverage and profile way beyond what it deserves, usually provided by the old school tie network.

Careful. Billy might propose

Agree, I grew up playing both codes and conntinue to watch both. Really never understood the need to put one down over the other.

In your opinion

No, you don't know that it's all in your opinion!

Try reading the Stephen Jones article in the Sunday Times about Sam's debut. Takes longer to read than he spent on the pitch. Rather sad reading, written by a rather bitter and twisted person. Accept Sam did very little. I doubt his club expected much given his first steps. Apparently most of what Sam has done in League is illegal in Union. According to Jones only in Union will you be defined by how dexterous you are with your hands and feet and apparently the extra workload of internationals. Even Ford has stated that in League a player would be involved in 60 plays (defence or attack per game) while in Union he might only be involved in 20, so doubt the internationals will tax him too much if he makes it. I hope Sam goes well but he has some jealous journalists to convince.
