| Quote: jonny the leyther "Is that why a 34 year old (sorry 30 year old, I forgot you lose 4 years when you sign for a union club) with shot knees ended up playing centre for ENGLAND when he had been moved to prop at Wigan?
It wasn't 20 years ago, it was 9 when Bradford won it by miles, they've not been invited back since.
What was that lad called who was god awful at Widnes and Salford, ended up playing for England RU? Tyrer?
A prop in union has to be able to push. That's it, be heavy, and push. Wow, what an athlete!
And scrums in union arn't anything to brag about, every union fan I know knows it's a mess.'"
I suggest you read my post again and then respond to the points I made instead of trying to give a history lesson.
The point being made and that you have proved is that the majority of RL fans don't watch and don't understand union and therefore slag it off as it is the easiest option. |

| Quote: Jimmy85 "I dont see how you can 'hate' Wimbledon but can abide tennis, doesn't make sense unless you had a personal axe to grind with the BBC or something, the same reason you hate Wimbledon must be the same reason you hate rugby union, I dont think it has anything to do with whats actually happening on the field or court. 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.
