Quote: jools "Sorry - it was awful to watch from a neutral POV. Close it may have been but that was because hull çouldnt hold the ball and Wigan appeared unable to be creative despite all the possession and field position they had. It was a terrible advert for rugby league- not helped by the commentating. Conditions can't completely excuse it.
Of course Wigan fans wouldn't see it that way- neither would I expect them to as its a completely different kettle of fish when your own team is involved and you have something at stake.But it won't encourage any first timers to watch again- that should concern all league fans'"
can't believe anybody plays rugby union if people only play it based on the performance of professional teams... give over todays game showed brutal hits and good defense, if passing, running and making breaks was all that counts everybody would play touch.
