I find it funny that he says that when his team currently share with a team that is 8 Miles away. At least our share is in Wigan

Oh, I seem to remember you begging for a ground not too long ago, perhaps Leigh will help you out next time.
To be correct, you don't have a share, you are tenants, make sure you pay your rent on time.

You're boring us all now. Why the sudden infux of trolling? Do you see me on your site?

I reckon it's due to this.................

Chill out, I don't intend to insult anyone, just light hearted banter, no offence meant, honestly

It's getting pretty boring to be honest? If you are going to enter into some light hearted banter as you put it then at least make it original and entertaining!

+1

It is just a poop variation if the same poor joke every time, with either a

or a

after everyone

And with some real relation to the topic he starts it on would help.

RL is by far better!

Try:

Fitter-getting back 10 each time a man is tackled from both teams causes each player (forwards and backs) to work harder creating a fitter player. So many players aren't up to RL after playing Union.

Running rugby-The 6 tackle rule allows players to retain possession only having to kick on the 6th allowing players to actually run with the ball. In Union it's kick, kick and then some clapping.

field position play- In union the ball can be lost at any given tackle as the tackled player must release the ball. To be sure not to lose the ball players kick when in their own halves, causing once again-kick, return kick and kick. Yawn.

Leading with the shoulder-In union players aren't allowed to lead with the shoulder and put a hit on. In league it's so entertaining to see a big hit thrown in, this excitement isn't allowed in union.

The point system-3 points for a drop kick in union and 3 for a kick allows teams to mass points simply by kicking, whereas all rugby fans know the most exciting way to score points is by a try!

I really could go on.. I seriously could!

League's better because it's not full of public schoolboys called Charlie and Ollie laughing like snorting pigs and bumming each other.

No, because as we all know, it's full of miners who play after working 14 hours 'down't pit", mill workers and pigeon fanciers.



Honestly, people with your attitude are just as bad as the RU bigots out there.

Use some of these to show how much Rugby Union actually wants to be like Rugby League:

Jonathan Davies during the Wales v New Zeland on saturday proved once and for all which game is better. As Stephen Jones was taking a penalty to bring Wales to 10 points from New Zeland he said "you dont have to score tires to win". After all South Africa did not score a try in winning the world cup.

Its not called kick and clap for nothing.

Manly anyone?

Difference is you might get 1 game every few years in League where no tries are scored its every week in union.

I don't think it's the lack of tries that is annoying in Union, it's the reliance on set pieces.

In the Scotland vs South Africa game over 15 mins was taken up by scrums. Add in the line-outs and that's a big slice of the match where the ball is not in play.

Union's advantage over League is that in principle the game is more continuous and less "stop start". In practice, however, the rules ensure that the game is very much "stop start".

The set pieces - line out and scrum are the basis of the restart and so that sets the structure of the whole game. Everything revolves around set piece play to gain or retain either possession and/or field position, the result is inevitably a stop/start game. Of the two other 'ball recycling' parts of the game the ruck can be quite quick but the movement beyond that is invariably very lateral and inevitably leads to some form of infringement and then - you've guessed it, a set piece scrum or line out!

The time that the ball is in play in Union is 25-30 mins.
In League it's around 60-70mins.

And this quote sums up exactly what union is,rubbish.

It's difficult to compare RU and RL, they are so different; it's like comparing Test cricket with Twenty20.

RL has taken the parts of the game which excite; such as running with the ball and big hits/tackles, and made them the focus of the game.

RU has taken the technical and strategic parts of the game; such as the contest for possession at scrum, lineout and the breakdown, and made them the focus.

Some people will always prefer RL, some RU, and some, like me, enjoy both codes.

Tell me about it,you made me laugh when you said a certain union player is the best rugby player you have seen of any code,who was it now nick.

The best comment I've heard about Rugby Union came from a flat capped owd codger at Barrow a few years ago. When asked about Rugby Union he replied, "It's the only game I know where the crowd handle the ball more than the players".
He knew his rugby did that owd codger.

Michael Jones .................. the best all round rugby player I've ever seen.

I have finally realised you are heading for the asylum.

In terms of ru converts Ray Price, Mr Perpetual Motion, gets my vote.

You know exactly who I think the best rugby player of any code or any era is,can you name him nick.
