No. The constant Ref whistles during Yawnion scrums allows the poor old fat sods to wheeze after the effort of bending over.
Still, they don't have to bend as far as the far more agile athletes in the far more popular UK Pub Darts comp, who have to pick darts up off the ground!
It must give you great pleasure putting other sports down. However, this is the problem in league. Looking at things other than the game itself. You can blame the Vichy Govt, News Ltd, David Gallop, the referees, SBW, the city of Toulon, The Footy Show, Bert Newton, whatever but this kind of thinking takes your concentration away from making the game of RL better.
