Good then go into the International section of the Forum and talk about the 2007 RL world cup and don't come back to this one.

League must be for people that couldnt count past 6 then ? or is it that the defence gets to tired so that the attacking team gives the ball back to the defensive team so that they can have a rest. Ohhh no thats right when league does their kicks they hang around for 2-3 mins to let everyone have a rest.

Would you like me to carry on Dim itri or would you just like to except that there are positives and negatives to both codes and that most people can actually enjoy the positives from both codes.

 

[incredible_holc]

there aren't many positives in union. I just can't stand the stop-start nature of that game. It's like watching a league game and being interrupted by the pause button all the time. Too technical and too boring. Leave it to the toffs.

If stop-start is a problem for you, then why are you watching either code of rugby? Surely soccer, being a more flowing game with fewer stoppages, would be the game for you?

 

[iggy plop]

Nah, I like seeing the being picked up and either run with or kicked. The game doesn't have to be continual, just not Stop bloody Start all the time. The sight of players just stading around doing nothing in union shits me. Athletes? kidding.

How many minutes in yawnion is the ball out of play? Half the bloody game??

Iggy, an average top class union game has about 40 mins of actual play in it, so you're right on that part, but the average top class league game only has 5 - 10 mins more. League takes up 20 mins a game on goal kicking. At least in union there's a limit of a 1min 30 secs from when the try is scored, which is never gone over.

But by your second definition, surely you'd be a very passionate AFL fan? There's a lot of running and kicking and it's pretty flowing with a few stoppages in it.

Rugby Union is not a hard game to understand. It really isn't and anyone who thinks it is is about as intelligent as two bricks. If you know league than it shouldn't take more than a game or two to pick up Rugby Union.

How hard is it to understand. Rugby League is a game about using the possession you have, while Rugby Union is a game about first winning possession and then using that possession. It's not difficult.

 

[dimitri]

union is about falling over and penalty kicks

league is about guts, determination, passion, possession, territory and scoring tries

No, that's not right. Union is closer to 30-35 minutes, whereas league is about 60 minutes.

 

[iggy plop]

Union would be closer to 5 minutes actual interesting play. I don't mind the highlights.
