    unionist curious about league rules

    What can I say ? When I posted on a english RL forum for the first time, one of the first replies was "please ask, ignore the fools". More or less the same happened here more than a year ago when I asked about the "ball strip" rule. When I apologised for the question being so naive for a...

    So does this post about yours. If you had the patience to read my post you would find that I defined the failed punishment of nazis ccoperators "a sad page in the history of Europe". Grow up.

    Failed my previous message. From the first link : Ce n’est qu’en 2002 que les autorités françaises ont officiellement reconnu que les treizistes avaient été victimes non tant d’une monstrueuse idéologie politique que de la jalousie, des préjugés et d’une tromperie scandaleuse...

    This is getting boring. Even opening the first of those links you can find this : "

    No, actually. I still believe it's illogical to aknowledge that rugby union is and always has been a working class sport in Wales but still accusing it of elitism.

    I dare to say my knowledge of the subject is pretty good and I must desagree. The details you disclosed, in my honest opinion, far from proving a link between rugby union and fascism, do confirm what I said about the personal guilt of some individuals who were in power at that moment.

    unionist curious about league rules

    If you live in Wales than maybe you should ask yourself why, if it's always been clear that union is founded on principles of corruption, elitism and deceit, all welsh workers kept playing and watching union instead of switching to league. Maybe they didn't appreciate the "evolution" of the...

    unionist curious about league rules

    I’m glad you found my post pretty fair. I hope you’ll think the same of this one. Fairness is all that matters to me. Your remarks about links of rugby union with fascism and elitism are, in my honest opinion, an evident exaggeration for the first, and a surrender to shallow stereotypes for...

    unionist curious about league rules

    First of all I want to thank the gentlemen who answered my questions. And then say a few things about league and union. I’m not so good in quoting, so many of you will find an undirect reference to their posts. Everything comes from an “original sin”, and it’s about the scrum. Your totally...

    No I'm not. I'm here to learn. And I did, thank to many kind and generous people. But if you, or anyone else, want to know why I rate "sometimes unjustified" the trust you put in your knowledge of the game of Rugby Union, I'll be happy to explain it.

    I could easily say the same. You all talk a lot about union with huge confidence on your knowledge of the game. Unjustified confidence sometimes.

    unionist curious about league rules

    But that's exactly what I said in my first post. The current rule is rewarding almost any kick to the try line, good or bad. While, as you suggest, bad kicks should be penalized in some way. By the way, in an english forum I've found a thread dedicated to this matter, and a poster wrote literaly...

    Maybe I had a point, after all.

    unionist curious about league rules

    Half time at Parramatta, so I can use a couple of minutes more. You always forget that in union you can lose the ball every time you're tackled, so it's quite obvious that every time you receive a ball from a kick and all your team mates are in front of you, it's very dangerous to attack with...

    You may aknowledge it or not, but there ARE skills involved in kicking the ball in union too, as you can do it in a proper and effective way, or not. Thanks for the replies anyway.
