....... of RL coaches of course! No, really, especially Sean Edwards, it seems.

I love the bit where the 'author' tells us Sean took 'the shilling' to play RL!

Bloody hell the article author is just a tad bitter?

So he's neglecting that Shaun played both sports as a schoolboy, and as a turning 16 years old boy from an average working class northern town who wasn't academical in the slightest how was he going to chose a sport played by the largely university educated in well paid jobs and play for free? And how is the guy surprised that the '2009 British & Lions defence coach' is commenting on poor defence at half time when he's been brought along as a pundit.

what an .

Terrrible example of ignorance and bigotry.

Though to be fair, some on here are guilty of the same, but going the other way.

I laughed out loud at this oneScoring tries, which was once the intrinsic appeal of union, has become as arduous a task as finding humour in Halifax'"


Since when was "scoring tries" ANYTHING to do with Bugry Onion?

I think this guys has been mixing up the 2 codes (along with several drinks, it seems)

We’re entitled to wonder, isn’t there anyone with a background in rugby union who can coach a defence? And what’s happening in rugby league with all these guys deserting the sport?

Firstly, no there isn't because people in Rugby Union couldn't tackle until league came along. Secondly, it's getting worse.

It's only a matter of time before Rugby Union employs Rugby League coaches to show their players how to run, pass and beat a man.

Quote: Rogues Gallery "It's only a matter of time before Rugby Union employs Rugby League coaches to show their players how to run, pass and beat a man.'"



They have already started.

One of the biggest "fall outs" of the Wigan-Bath game was the acceptance that RL was streets ahead in this respect.

Why do you think Paul, Robinson, Connolly et al were given short term RU contracts shortly after? Tbh the defensive part of their game came as a shock to many RU fans (though not RU coaches).

As I have said before, RL in the UK will shortly become a feeder sport for RU (if that hasn't already happned already). Those talented youngsters who "slip through the net" from playing RU at a young age, will be scooped up later. We won't see another RU raid on "over the hill" players like Faz, rather youngsters like Ashton, Smith (and dare I say it Tomkins in 3-4 years).

Still, at least the forwards are safe.........


Is RU boring- I am not sure anymore. There is no doubt the talent and skill levels have improved massively. With the current relative financial situations (both natural and self-imposed) in both codes, the talent pool that RU coaches will have to work with will be far greater than that of RL.

A few changes to the rules of RU to encourage less kicking and more handling and it can only get better.

With the "dummy half scoot" killing our game, I don't think we are in a position to throw words like "boring" about.
