Quote: Adamjk "Fair enough - to be honest I don't really know much about union. Used to play it in school and preferred it to league at the time. I can't sit through even half a game now. Tried to watch the Premiership final the other week but had to turn off when London Irish went for a drop goal after about 30 seconds.'"
That's part of the problem with Union, drop goals worth THREE points!!!!!!
Also there's too much importance put on second phase possession. I'm OK with that but when it gets to 3rd, 4th 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th etc phase it gets just a tad boring - why doesn't somebody pick the ball up a run with it sometimes.
The touchline is used as a safe haven.
What is the mark all about?
Forwards don't know what to do when they accidentally get hold of the ball in open play.
Apart from that the game is OK when there's no Rugby League to watch.
