If you must discuss Union, do it here

Quote: The Angry Pirate "For the umpteenth time on this website, I have to remind somebody that RL and RU are 2 completely different sports, which cannot be compared, because the complexities and skills of each are, mainly, different....It is like trying to compare Test cricket with 20-20 cricket.

In each case, both sports (RL & RU) have their positives and negatives over each other....Don't try to fool yourself that RL is some type of 'super' sport...watch Huddersfield v Cas from Friday night, and try to convince a neutral that RL is entertaining.

Yes, running with a ball can be entertaining and skilful, but if you think kicking is as boring and as simple as you reckon, you should watch Jonny Wilkinson's winning drop kick from the '03 World Cup final and then try to tell me that kicking makes for dramaless, dull sport...[/quote]

As i remember the world cup was a pretty drab affair if you want to watch a boring game which has a match winning drop goal in the last minute as being the definition of enterrtainment then you should watch RU all the time. If England had not won that game no- one would mention that game in England and Johhny wilkinson would have just being another body left to medical science.

On saturday even the commentator commented on the first half as being onje high kick after another. Admittedly the second half was better but if i did not have it sky plussed and being able to FF at every scrum and lineout the entertainment was for about 30 minutes in the whole game.

Admittedly after being at the Hudds Cas game i accept yopur point about RL not always being entertaining
