Dumb, ignorant or both?

It's common knowledge on here that roops is Mr Newcastle knights and what he doesn't know about the NRL isn't worth knowing.

I know a lot about the Knights - more than most about the lower grades - but i'm not really up on other sides.

You have certainly been a welcome addition to this forum with your knowledge about Sandercock, McDonnell, Mika etc.

Hope you continue to keep us informed.

You watch an NRL game and 80% of the time you have no idea who will win the game.

Standards are much higher in the NRL in all areas. Its a fact.

27 days and ill be out there!
Bring on the NRL!!!

So we can expect to see England put 50 points on Australia next time we play? Thought not

The same gets said about Super Rugby in Union, the SH teams can't defend is all you ever hear, but you rarely see a team from the North run in any decent number of tries. The reason why that is, and why at times NRL defence can look poor, is because they're far superior on attack.

What games u gonna see

Well if the defence is rubbish then we should put high scores on the Australians, that's the logical conclusion of what you stated in your opening post.

If we can't and aren't going to put high scores on the Australians then it's clear that their defence isn't rubbish, but instead their attack happens to be awesome, something people often get mixed up.

It's a dichotomy, there is no middle position.

Ive already got planned cowboys, broncs, afew knights games and wests home games.Then whatever else i decide along my travels!

I'm in Brisbane for next few months, let me know when your here!

It's great watching a game in Aus we watched broncos v titans and rabbits v roosters nothing like over here tho enjoy

The atmosphere is rubbish compared to Super League (no chanting) but the standard of rugby is better

TBF - The atmosphere @ FC, us, Hudds, Wakey, Saints, London, Bradford etc hardly comes across well on TV half the time either.

Will do. Hit up a broncos game or GC?
