| Quote littlerich="littlerich"Personally, i couldn't give a sh[iit[/i about the NRL. I used to like watching it back when you had skilled players like Sterling, Lewis, Langer, Lamb etc.... but quite honestly it's a big sleeping pill at the moment so i avoid it. I'd rather watch SL any day - much more exciting. If the by-product of this is a spanking in International matches then so be it - it's not as though this hasn't been the case in recent history anyway.
NRL's a bore-athon mate - you're welcome to it.'"
The biggest urban myth going. The NRL is fantastic, i guess though if you do not like players with pace flair and skill, who rip into each other at ridiculous intensity then its not the comp for you. |

Thats about it. People that don't enjoy the NRL are probably those same people who thought Tony Smith got the WC squad right and can't understand how Higham didnt scoot the trophy home. |

This has been done to death. The fact is it was (with probably the odd exception) the best squad available. We just weren't good enough. |

I though for a long time now the standard of our junior and academy/reserve leagues in this country has more to do with our poor performance at test level than the standard of SL. This, and the standard of coaching in this country are the 2 things that need addressing the most.

A few of is have been banging on about the reserve and academy standard for years.
The better players are not getting tested. Last night Wigan beat Leeds 60 - 12 at reserve level. What good does that do either team? |

Exactaly. Leeds recognised this this a couple of years ago. Which is generally why the best U18s play in the reserves, and the best U21s go out on loan or come into the first team. |

It's a matter of personal choice you di[ipsh[/iit. I prefer to watch SL but it doesn't mean i don't like or watch the NRL. Doesn't make me right, doesn't make the bollox you write any more plausible either. Urban Myth doesn't come into it - it's just opinion and a personal preference. |
