The only thing funny is your complete lack of knowledge.
A prop in union has a completely different job to do than in league. Theres not one RL prop who could hold his own in the scrum against any of the premiership teams. The set piece in RU is a completely different animal than in RL and far more important. If you think all they do is bend over and push you know nothing. Willie Mason can't play in the front row in RU the French are struggling to find a position for him different games require different attributes.
Its all well and good people talking about how we beat the rah rahs 20 years ago in a sevens competition when it was essentially a part time sport. RU has moved on and if you can't see it you are either blind or deluded.
I have stated on here before that RL is my first choice sport but I appreciate RU for what it is. There are lots of bad games but there is a hell of a lot of good stuff to watch take a look at the Super 15 games.
One thing everyone on here should know is that the RFU no longer see RL as a threat no RU players are banging on the door to get into RL and it is not because they are not good enough it's that RL has nothing to offer them anymore.

I remember you saying once that you would never go to a rugby union club for a beer as you just didnt want to give them your money. You've gotta let it Jonny. Whatever it is.'"
So 'Murray Mount' 'Henman Hill' and Cliff Richard piping up singing isn't irritating enough to make your teeth itch?
It's Leigh RU club I have a particular problem with, but that's for personal reasons. A RU club down in Bath saved my brothers holiday by turning The Open Golf off the telly to put the Northern Rail Final on for him. |

Haha I think you just have to bite the bullet, walk into Leigh RUFC, awarded the title by CAMRA as the 'Club of the Year 2011' ask the landlady, politely, for a pint of the finest Real Ale in the North West that you can possibly imagine, then thats it, you'll be a rugby union fan.

Really? What ales are on?
I'd be suprised if I went into Leigh RU and said 'is this CAMRA club of the year?' and they'd say 'no, a club in Staffordshire won that, we wern't even nominated' and i'd say 'why?' and they'd say 'because it's a delapidated hole'

Haha I havent been in for a few months and it appears that they have lost their title, suppose they cant win it every year. You shouldve gone to the real ale festival a couple of months ago to sample their wares.
Let it go Jonny, this build up of hate is no good for you.

Why are you lying?
They lost this years title, this year? Was it a photocopy?
2010 winner: Rushden Historical Transport Society
2009 winner: Guiseley Factory Workers Club
2008 winner: The Leyton Orient Supporters Club
No hate here. Facts are good though.
I hate liars though.
