RFL is a DISGRACE

Quote: Fishsta "The rules are still the same, though. No punches. It's punishable by means of penalty or ban. Cunningham got neither.

And no, I DON'T cheer a fight. It's not part of the game. The harder man is the one who takes the punch and laughs in the face of the thug who did it. When I played, I remember taking a huge swinging arm to the forehead (I was moving up in the defending line, the opposition passed the ball out of play, but the winger decided to clobber me anyway as I passed him). I got up as the referee was running over, and laughed at him. I made it clear that next time I got the ball, I was going to come straight at him, and he wasn't get past me for the whole match. We got the penalty, and I scored the first try of the match from the resulting sequence of play. The next time I got the ball, I basically ran him over as he tried to tackle me. And no, he didn't make it past me at any point.Doesn't count in the playground witth a ball made out of paper & sellotape

THAT'S how Rugby League should be played, not thuggishly punching a player who tackled you legitimately just because you didn't like it.

If you're watching the sport for a fight, then switch to watching Boxing or UFC, because that's where it belongs.

"An argument isn't just contradiction. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition."

<--Waits for reply of "No it isn't".

Sorry, but you need to expand on that. You can't just post "utter rubbish" and expect that to stand up as some sort of defence against my point. Simple as. Try again and see if you can do any better.

Did you mean to write "Big 'uns" if we're talking about Cunningham?'"
