Yes i am being serious

BOD
Darcy

Henson
Roberts

All four are better than Senior Imo.

Add to that Shane Williams, Lee Byrne and Rob Kearney are all fantastic ruby players who would walk into the England RL team.

Except that they are welsh and irish

Not English enough like Big Les or Henry Paul.

Seriously i don't know if it would work or where it would be based but if we got it at a high initial cost I’m sure it would pay for itself after a while especially if we used it for other sports like Athletics or Concerts etc?

I’ve just posted the same thing on the VT to see others opinions on it. If you look at all the other major sports which is where we aim to be they all have their own stadiums

Tennis-Wimbledon
Football-Wembley
Cricket-Lords
RU-Twickers

GB tho

Lords is the Marylebone Cricket Club's ground, also Middlesex, and the home of the EWCB,.

we should do something similar with Wembley, I thought when it was rebuilt it was a condition that rugby League had to be played there. the GB internationals there in the past were great occasions,

Most of the backs would make pretty decent RL players, its the 'fly halfs' that infuriate, they insist on kicking even when theres a glaring gap/overlap.
As for the forwards......... pfffft!!

LMFAO


Do you REALLY think that those 4 centres are better than Gidley, Senior and Carmont?




I would give you Shane Williams, he would make a good RL Winger in the style of Robinson.

But 1 from 30 is about it as far as I am concerned.

Retarded comment.

Care to answer the question?

perhaps Dave Whelan should rename the JJB to 'The National Rugby League Stadium" .... then RL would have a national stadium ....

You said Senior would walk into any 6 nation’s squad and I showed you he wouldn't get in two of the teams who played today. I'd also take Flutey and Tindal over him as well but that’s just my opinion.

Look mate if you don't watch the games then how can you possibly comment on how good some players are and others aren't?

There are lots of RU players who would easily make it in RL and if you can't see that you must be that blinded by hatred or ignorant. Lots of players made it in the past and plenty could now as well it’s just they have no reason to come over anymore.

'"

Which is why I said on a par. I think there's less difference in the centres than people realise. It's all about running the right lines and getting the timing right.

Wasn't that the title of the post? I.e. I WATCHED the Rar Rar?

Learn to read before you post.

Flutey is a talent but that's a different point.

BOD would be "below average" in SL, Darcy would be dire.

To suggest otherwise is laughable.


Have you seen them play?

You didn't show me anything.

Yes, a lot, for Leinster and Ireland. In fact, I've been watching Union for [iconsiderably[/i longer than League; however, of the 2 codes, I prefer League.

So far your opinions on this thread have been accompanied by large doses of venom and sanctimony; I'm sure you won't care but, for me, what credibility you had for your input has evapourated due to your inability to debate without undue aggression.

Yet you STILL think they are SL standard?

Even WITH the diluted standard that the CC ensures?


Frankly BOD would get his ar$e handed to him by Carmont every single game. We simple would not notice him.

End of.

So your a fan then are youas you obviously watched more than game? Or did watching one game suddenly give you a deep insight into the whole of RU and it's players?

BOD is far a better player than Senior not only because he can actually step but he has some pace also.

Why if Flutey is a talent is it a different point? He played in the 6 nations didn't he?

Sorry i named you four players who all have more talent than Senior btw

In your opinion (which doesn't amount to a whole hill of beans in mine - see my edited post).

Funny you should say that but it had more substance that your opening post which seems to blame the salary cap for:

- RU internationals filling their stadiums
- The media coverage of RU
- The RFL's lack of marketing
- The boring standard of RU





Keep off the shandy on a Saturday night Brett.

Listen Shandy Andy, don't try and gain the intellectual high ground on me.

You know what happened last time don't you?

Now run along little child.
