I played both union and league on and off for 25 plus years. Both league and union when I was younger and just union in my dotage (that tells you the differences between the two from a physical standpoint). I watch Super League live and English union internationals both home and away and know many other league fans who do also (travelling to Rome, Paris or Dublin may have a bearing on that though). I watch everything I can on the tv regarding both.
I see them as two totaly different sports offering different kinds of enjoyment. I take as much pleasure as watching a league player crashing through two tackles and offloading for a try as i do watching a rolling maul. |

Is a rolling maul the one where fat blokes just push against each other?

It the big where the super athletic backs stand about bored. I have never been as bored on a rugby pitch as when I went from 2nd Row in RL to Centre in RU.

Data coming out from BBC and Sky would suggest it is far more common place than you think. |

What happened to that Dutoni?
I also seem to remember somebody who fought the rest of the world for hundreds of posts about what constitutes a forward pass. Is he still around?

He got permanently banned for some reason. I think it was because his trolling became too much, the bites too big, and some simpletons on Other Sports were put out of their misery.
I'm sensing him on this thread however... |

It's the perversion of mankind, just look at what the most popular things are:
Food - McDonalds
Sport - soccer
TV - Reality shows
Music - pop
Mankind's history is littered with the popularity of absolute e! |

Fat blokes in the mud, flat caps, bogs that drain pi55 directly onto your boots - Now it's all 'Big Ask', 'Arm Wrestle', 'Collision' 'Contact' 'Facials' 'Upper Body Strength' 'Big Units' 'Scooting from Dummy Half' 'Energy Levels' 'Laying the Platform' ‘Middles’ and 'T-R-Y'.

7s in reality is a social event. About 25 of us go to Dubai 7's every year and most only see a few minutes of the rugby
