I quite enjoy watching some RU in the off-season. I find it much more entertaining than over-paid nancy boys prancing about a pitch after a soccer ball before promptly falling over their own feet and having to be carried off. I don't claim to fully understand RU and all its tactics but can enjoy watching players like Shane Williams running at a broken line. That in itself is a thing of wonder.

| Quote sally cinnamon="sally cinnamon"If you are talking about the history of the game, I would never want to be associated with rugby league.
A sport which saw routine racism from the terraces, with monkey chants directed at Martin Offiah at around the same time Chris Oti made his England debut in RU and was cheered with chants of Swing Low Sweet Chariot which then went onto become an anthem of the England team.
Similarly rugby league was full of terrace violence and thuggery, Warrington v Widnes; Warrington v Wigan, Salford fans, Hull fans, many teams were notorious for their mobbery and liking for mindless violence at train stations and on the terraces. You wouldn't get that amongst the pimms drinking prawn sandwich brigade in RU.
Anybody who wants to claim RL is a family game should have a long hard look at its history.'"
RL is clearly a family game, just because the history of rugby league had "violence & thuggary" doesent mean that it cant be a family game you never heard of a thing called change? An event which has 14 teams attending the same venue on the same day and goes by without any mention of violence or thuggary surely shows change? |

Sounds more like a terrorist strike against the liberal middle class establishment to me.
Out of interest Paul where do you think the BNP draws most of its support? Is it from the rugby union towns, Bristol, Bath, Sale, Gloucester? Or is it from the rugby league areas, Keighley, Halifax, Leeds, Bradford... |

I'm an anti-fascist but take the racism out and I wish RL was still the same as you describe now.

An incident in an England international a season or 2 ago really summed up why I do not watch Rugby union that often
England were leading by maybe 4 or 5 points.The ball was trundled into the right hand corner by the England forwards and there was a ruck/maul/pile in or whatever it was. I think the name of it changed 4 or 5 times whilst I was watching.
Matt Dawson ( or Austin Healey ) or one of the other dancers or skaters was doing the commentary. His comment was that the game was now over because England could just wind down the clock using their forwards keeping the ball in the corner.
[size=150THERE WERE OVER 8 MINUTES LEFT ON THE CLOCK[/size
I went into the kitchen, made a brew and came back into the living room. Dawson ( or Healey ) were right - the ball hadnt moved more than 2 metres.
What a spectacle - swing low my backside
