When it comes to stupid, I would suggest that you look at the following......
You started this thread with a link

Short term memory loss or just plain stupid?
Then....and this is may favourite
Quote ="dally messenger"was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have'"
....still makes me smile that...shows you up to be truly stupid....
But just in case we weren't convinced....
Quote ="dally messenger"the tactic had never been seen before in australia pre gibson....maybe you guys imagined people were doing bombs way back in 1963 or even 1895'"
...ah, so because it wasn't seen in Australia before it was stolen directly from American football rather than say, er....Union...or even UK League?
American football....FFS........
Then you go on to say that League didn't have its origins in Union......but accept that after the split, both "codes" were pretty much played with Union rules but the Northern Union
changed their game over a period of time to what we now call league......I think the fact that they were called the Northern UNION would have given you a hint as to the origin of the game...
Quote ="dally messenger"the game of rugby pre dates the formation of the RFU.'"
at no point did I mention the RFU....you were wrong, you knew you were wrong, but like a spoilt child, you kept on denying everything...
Interesting post here....
Quote ="dally messenger"all that happened in 1895 is that many northern rugby clubs elected to have a new governing body to control the sport rather than be run by the rfu'"
Is this the same RFU that didn't exist? You keep digging though, even though many others have proved you to be wrong on all points.....
here's something else I didn't say but you threw into the debate to try and cover your tracks....
Quote ="dally messenger"
the rules of rugby werent invented by the RFU.'"
...........
and best of all.......after 7 pages of total rubbish from you....you come up with
Quote ="dally messenger"ive enjoyed giving the history lesson'"
...funniest post....but you still continue...
Quote ="dally messenger"the northern union spawned rugby league
the RFU had nothing to do with it.'"
Where did I mention the RFU?????
sTOP!! Seriously, stop now......
Quote ="dally messenger"sorry to get back in but rugby schools rules werent invented by the RFU.'"
....how did a debate about the bomb/up'n'under get to this.......and what's with the fixation on the RFU......
is there something you're not telling us?
This quote sums you up dally messenger......
