Williams went to France AND HE'S PLAYING FOR...WHO?.

Who would have pad Benjis big fee in Japan?


Williams has to be playing for a Super rugby team in NZ before he was eligible for selection.

Same deal with the aussies who play overseas. They have to be playing for a local team or they are not considered for selection.

Whichever JAPANESE RUGBY CLUB he happened to be playing for. I'm guessing you don't even realise there are a large number of international players earning six figures playing in Japan.

Do you REALLY think the NZRFU was paying $BW to play for a French club side???

:lol::lol: you stupid maori flog!!!!!!!!!

You can remember an obscure players list of employment offers but cant remember your passionate defence of Union 7's players being the best athletes of either code? :lol:

You geniused cabage, i didnt do any such thing..

Remember this thread you mutant rhubarb?

http://forums.leagueunlimited.com/showthread.php?t=371809&page=11&highlight=union+sevens

In it, you posted these things:

All that has been said is that elite Rugby 7's players are fitter than NRL players and are better equiped to play Rugby 7's than NRL players... much the same as as they would be much better and fitter than other Rugby players who dont specialise in 7's...

No YOU are talking about Australia.. others were talking about NRL players walking up and winning a 7's comp e.g the Comm games... this is not true as there are proffesional 7's players who are better.

You are dumber than pigsh*t... every post you make shows how pathetic and stupid you really are... moi moi?? wouldnt last a minute and a half... how would these players get any ball?

Just like all those league players who became the best in their position in Rugby when they switched... oh hang on.. thats none of them.

Again you dont know what you are talking about.. Super 12? there hasnt been a super 12 in a few years... and yes the gold medal winning team are Professional 7's players... and they are payed very well to travel the world playing 7's for the most part they chose not to play Super 14 and and played 7's instead.

I have never said that... ever.. only YOU are saying that... i have stated that the best 7's teams would beat a sctratch 7's team of NRL players.

.

No tournaments of which are Rugby 7's.. and yet where history shows that NRL converts are no better than their Rugby counterparts, you still claim that NRL players would "slaughter" professional 7's players in a game they have never played... you lack even simple rational thinking skills....

Prove it... how many Rugby 7's tournaments have these NRL players won? zero... must put them on par with the Aussie 7's team.

... Those who are better at 7's than 15 aside choose to play 7's for a comparable salary to super 15 players.

The NRL is proffessional RUGBY LEAGUE comp... with proffesional LEAGUE players... none of them have played Rugby 7's to a leveal that comes close to Rugby 7's players... you cant prove they would "smash" and Rugby 7's team, you cant even prove that any League recruit is better than their Rugby countrparts.

And who in the Aussie team where park players from sydney or brisbane... none dumbarse... big f**ken deal they came close... did they win? no.. have they won anything else? no...

You have nothing but your worthless opinion to back up your claim that NRL players would "smash" all before it at Rugby 7's...


Deny it again. Just once. Go on - I dare ya. :lol::lol:

Re Marshall, maybe you are right. But that article was basically about a summer stint. Marshall has been attracting union interest for years. And not all from Japan.

He'd sill carve up in a Bore blicks jumper.

Aqua, your making a statement like your defending some sort of minority. You do realise that your the Goliath to League's David in terms of what sport has more supporters, defenders, media friends etc.

To me, its the pro-union crowd are claiming that League players are hopeless hacks, and that Union guys would to a man walk into any League side in the world.
I'm not defending anyone, I'm just stating how silly, closed minded and insecure some seem to be


Be interesting to see what ratings the RWC final has tomorrow night in Australia.

With no local interest, especially in states like Vic, WA, SA etc. it might hopefully aim for ratings in the ball park of a mid table Toyota Cup game.

Im waiting for the real Union to start, the World Sevens, that were the real athletes and money is.
i wonder how well the Wales Vs England 4 nations match will rate


So can everyone else here. Appreciation doesnt mean "Think they are superior" like you are crapping on about the RWC players.
find me one quote where someone has claimed Rugby players to be superior. There's about a thousand posts from you and a few other where you claim rugby players are hacks despite not knowing anything about rugby

I heard Zinzan Brook really wanted to play League, but Souffs didnt need anyone for their reserve grade at the time.
making shit up again, I guess nothing unusual for you


By Union fans yes.
Are you from NZ? How the hell would you know

Williams went to France AND HE'S PLAYING FOR...WHO?.

those 2 ill informed statements pretty much sum up your knowledge of Rugby Union

How can saying rugby 7's players would be better at rugby 7's than league players possibly be interpreted as 7's players being superior athletes? its just like saying the Australian touch football team would beat the Australian league team at touch football

couldn't you find an article to suit your agenda?

It's not harder at all. Uate is just not particularly good at it. That kills off any threat he poses to the current wingers. Like it or not, kicking for field position is used more in the 15 man game. League guys tend to use the kick at the end of the tackle count.
League wingers are often forced to make more tackles and more decisions in defense than their Union counterparts so it stands to reason someone like Uate would be a far better defender than Ioane. And Ioane is one of the bigger outside backs for the Wallabies but compared to Uate he is a lightweight. I don't see it being important, Uate couldn't possibly be a worse kicker of the ball than Sailor and he played plenty of games for Australia in Union. Uate would more than make up for it with better positioning in receiving kicks and being well and truly more powerful.

Has there been a League player gone to Yawnion and failed? Sailor = Wallaby. Lote = Wallaby. Rogers = Wallaby. Barnes = Wallaby. Macrae = Wallaby. Farrell = Lion. Robinson = Lion. Paul = Lion. SBW = Awl Blick. Thorn = Awl Blick
.
Will Chambers went over fresh from winning a grand final and couldn't get a game by the end of his stint

You are pathetic.. truely pathetic... part quoting and quoting out of context... All i said in that thread is that NRL players are no better than Rugby players and they wouldnt win the comm gold if they switched to play in it... You claimed they would dominate despite the fact that when lote played for the sevens team... they lost!

A team you f*cking dimwit. Was Tequiri a team?

You also claimed Union 7's players chose not to play Super 12 because they were better. You also claimed they were fitter than NRL players. Rather than whinge about "context" (I dont know how to fit 11 pages into one quote), prove where you DIDNT say that!

You were owned, fleece boy. Your Union agenda is laughable. Tell me again why you are on a League forum? The Warriros recently made a GF and I cannot recall one post from you in that era. Yet someone says something disparaging about the f*cking Bore Blacks and you are all over this like it's the mulesing debate.

And whoever held up Will Chambers as a League champion because he was lucky enough to play in a GF - I'll link that story to Duncan Macrae. Like Chambers - a try hard in League. Yet before he could say "How much is a new Volvo" he's playing rep yawnion! :lol::lol:

You claimed League players were sooooo much better and yet he didnt make a difference... shows you how full of shit you are.

Union fans are laughable.

You are actually trying to claim some sort of "win" by comparing that regular tournament match to the showpiece of Rugby Union that only comes around once every 4 years? Thats like me saying "na-na-na" Shute Shield matches are outrated by Origin...
