Cardiff University (known as University of Wales, College of Cardiff back then), also spat in rugby league when I went there. From what I can see they still don't have a team. That's a huge university (10th biggest in the UK out of 165) that doesn't seem to bother with RL.

I think Cardiff Institute had a fairly decent RL team at the time, they look to still be in the Wales & West league these days.

I've just watched the NRL highlights show on Sky that I recorded last week

The Souths vs. Cronulla game started with the Souths player catching the ball and being knocked over the sideline by his own player (which was a good thing because he tried to throw it back inside only for a Cronulla player to touch down after 6 seconds of the game)

The Newcastle vs. St George game started with St George dropping the ball from the kick off

And the Sydney vs. Canberra game started with Sydney kicking the ball out on the full from the kick-off

I nearly fell off the sofa I was laughing that much... If I were you I would look at the comedy sketch show called the NRL before criticising the basic skills in the Super League

Seconded. The NRL isn't as far ahead as some on here would like to try and make you believe.

Also, when it comes to attendances the NRL fans have no right to get on their high horses (Sydneysiders especially)
5,703 Penrith v Souths is one gate that springs to mind ...they'll tell you it was raining probably That's a Sydney/derby game, between 2 teams less than 50 minutes apart by rail or road.

As for PHIPPS's team...the Cronulla Sharks......they are the worst draw in the NRL with souths, penrith and melbourne posting terrible gates for their visit and only 7,000 and change rolling up for their home game against NQlnd. They even have to take their "home" game v the Warriors to New Zealand to get a crowd

But I digress......a GB win is a GB win...regardless of what excuseds the Australians want to try and roll out.

Now where have I ever said the Cronulla Sharks are my team?

Ahhhhh.


It's one of those 'Phipps is Barry Mackenzie' posts.


WRONG

This is where I got the inferance that you were a sharks fan......pretty pro sharks post wouldn't you say?


Have never said you were Bazza....never will either. You are an anti-london RL troll though, that much is for sure.

It's no more a 'pro Sharks post' than if I had mentioned a fact about Manly, Wests or indeed any other NRL club!

There are TAFE teams. I play in the NSWTRL and there are TAFE, unis and colleges. You can also play City Country and State of Origin.

There is a guy in Brisbane who occasionally plays first grade who came through QLD and is also a physiotherapist. However Union rules especially in the universities.

I hope you weren't just making excusing for a loss ECT?

...notice you didn't mention St George Illawarra Dragons there...

Never heard that before, matter of fact, all the Tafe's I've seen, not one has a sporting ground

Not disagreeing with you, but the closest I've seen any TAFE come within a set up for sport is usually the swimming pool they each have, and they are usually used for relaxation.
