Why do people call RU, 'rugby'??

[Goldfields_Titans]

Owned??? what are you 12???? the only person having a "whinge and sook" is you... so much so you send abusive PMs to other members... how lame are you...



You seem to have a lisp there... or are you not taking your meds???

Are you now saying that League and Rugby are the same sport?? and its just a big con that they have different rules and governing bodies???... you really are soooooooooo dumb.

P**$ off moron. You are a Kiwi troll, a UNIONITE yet got made up ionto a Mod on the RUGBY LEAGUE site and cannot hack when anybody questions your pathetic arrogant nature.

 

[Goldfields_Titans]

This is easily the most absurd thread in the history of this forum. And that's saying something.

Thanks for your contribution.

 

[Goldfields_Titans]

It sure is. We have some deadsh*t telling people what to call their sport and a kiwi arguing with possibly the most stubborn Englishman ever.

When Paley dies his tombstone will read "Rugby League is Rugby, you bastards!"

Who's "English" sorry but that nationality simply does not exist. Do some geography and demographic research first troll.

 

[Goldfields_Titans]

Dont talk bullsh*t.. the pupils arent a governing body... and who governed the clubs??

Its a simple question.. even for you.. what was the first governing body for codefied "Rugby Football"?

Why do you find it so bloody difficult to accept that several RUGBY LEAGUE clubs are older than the RFU and the RFL?? Get off the ganja big fella and accept you have been truly owned. :lol:

You quite enjoy telling people what to do, don't you champ? :lol:

As for your 'question'. Paley is English. He is also from England. Hence, he is English. This is the definition given to people who come/live in England. England is one of several countries located in Great Britain. They have a good cricket team there. Also, it rains.

Oh boo hoo... go have a cry on your mummys tit... you act like a kid you get treated like one... so you dont deny you are a kid.. it certainly explains a lot.. doesnt say much about the Western Australian education system tho...

And by the way.. dont try and bypass the word filter.. its their for a reason... wouldnt want you to get yourself banned from the site.
While your at it.. dont send any more abusive PMs to members.. that will get you banned as well.

Thanks for your contribution.

His contribution is a hell of a lot more reasoned and intelligent then anything you have posted.

That would be people from England... those WA schools REALLY need some help... all though it could just be that you are a moron.

Where did i say theose clubs werent older??? your comprehension skills are terrible... how do you hope to graduate high school if you cant read and comprehend????

The pupils were the first to draw up the agreed rules of the game. Subsequently various clubs were formed which started to play to some varying rules mostly because they often just played against themselves (captain v secretary, Rugby v Cheltenham etc) - the RFU were formed so that clubs could play against each other using a more or less common set of rules. When the Northern Union formed they continued that process. The RFU didn't sanction competitive club games (or competitive international games for that matter, they were all just friendlies)

It is a nonsense to suggest that union has the greater claim to the word "rugby" although it is certainly union which has abused the word in order to achieve its aims. If you attach any notion of fair play to the word "rugby" you would struggle to find a worse custodian than union.

" the RFU were formed so that clubs could play against each other using a more or less common set of rules"... In otherwords they codeified the game under the rules of "Rugby Football.... thankyou... you finally admit it... so logically, and i know logic is a stretch for you, since the organisation that codefied "Rugby football" is still in existance then it would have first rights to the name... There is no other governing body that can possibly have first claim to the name "Rugby".

The RFU codeified it in their way from the original rules, the northern union and subsequently the rugby football league did the same. Both have a direct link back to the original game of rugby football, neither can claim to have first claim on the name "rugby" - the only organisation which can do that is Rugby School and they choose not to as do rugby league, only union makes that claim and doing so is an act of gross hypocrisy which seems to be a very union trait.

It's a very simple matter but you have been brainwashed by union hypocrisy and lies so I can understand you inability to grasp the facts.

This thread is like crack cocaine.

I know it'll kill me eventually yet I keep returning to it.

Brainwashed?? unlike you i can think for myself... League does indeed have a direct link back to the rugby school, nobody is denying that, and thus they have a valid claim to use the name "Rugby/Rugby Football" to name their sport... However...

When the clubs split in 1895, did they revert to the same rules played in Rugby school? no they didnt.. they stayed with the rules codified by the original Rugby code, administered by the RFU. To say otherwise is an untruth.

tell me where any of that is wrong??? you cant... This the first Rugby code was aministed by the RFU and is the code that has first claim to the name "Rugby".

This thread is like crack cocaine.

I know!!!... its funny.... keeps the board interesting to the season starts... now just have to wait for PW.. er.. Goldfields_Titans to come back and entertain with his stupidity.

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

Has "rugby union" changed its name since the split? What about the code that split away? Did they change their name?

Yeah many times all over the world.

We have Super Rugby*
Super League
Rugby Super League
and others.

All comps that play the Sport of Rugby Union ;-)

Very confusing isn't it?

Maybe the people who run R Union should stick to their name of Union and stop trying to steal the name Rugby League.

I'd actually visit his grave just to see it.

Are you expecting us to believe that rugby didn't exist in any form until the RFU created it? Your post is utter nonsense.

Stop telling fibs.. i didnt post that at all.. the only person to post that is you!

The RFU was the first to govern codeified Rugby Football.. therefore they have first rights of ANY code to claim the name... its that simple... the fact you cant comprehend that says more about you than anything else.

Rugby Football Union (RFU) - born 26 January 1871 FIRST
Northern Rugby Football Union - born 29 August 1895 Second

The original rugby code was played at rugby school.

You are also confusing governing bodies with the game itself.

No you are confusing a code with a game.... Rugby and League are both codified games.

Until Rugby football was codified each club played by their own rules.. you said so yourself, or are you saying you lied???...there was no code.. In 1871 the first codified Rugby game was administered by the RFU. in 1895 the "NU" clubs split but still played under the codified rules of the RFU. This shows anyone, but an idiot, that the RFU was the first administrator of the Code of Rugby Football, and this have the first rights to the name.

No need, I'm enjoying you getting seriously owned by Paley, now that is entertaining Mr Haka.
