At least some League people like Gould and Sterling are honest about the current state of League on the pitch. Pretty sad that the NRLs top side has to play like that to win a comp Craig Bellamy - Super Coach LOL Robbie Deans eat your heart out!!!!!!!!
I also saw snippets of NZ international Covell play this weekend. He is as slow as a wet week but its been obvious for sometime that NRL players lack real pace compared to rugby with a few exceptions like Brett Stewart.
When union gets close to the majority of NRL rugby league games ,you may have an argument.
Union even with the ELVs)and Koala Deans) is a monotony of mauls,a litany of lineouts ,a retinue of rucks,and a kaleidescope of kicks,and a plethora of penalties.Open running is like a boil,it breaks out occasionally.
Covell even with his lack of speed,would sidestep some of the numpties S14 has thrown up.
