I played Union for several years. I understand the game quite well.

It's sh|t.

We shouldn't pretend there's a balance where there isn't one. It's sh|t.

Whats wrong with people making evidenced observations in this forum about the other code.I work with fans of Yorkshire Carnegie and they Do have a massive chip about RL,and by the way can you let me know when there has been an exciting match in yawnion other than the 1st 20 mins in a Barbarians match in 1973.Oh and "rugby" is sh**** just for the record!

I actually quite like Union at amateur level. My experience has been 99.9% positive, in contrast to my experiences in amateur RL.

But I can't stand it at the top level. Partly it's my intense opposition to the public school system, which are the foundations of Union. Partly it's because I find the games deadly boring (in general) and devoid of high skill levels (in general).

But just because I dislike the game on a social, cultural and sporting level doesn't mean I'm ignorant of it and neither is criticism of Union always borne out of ignorance.

Everybody, Andy Gilder included will have sports that they don't like, it doesn't mean the person is ignorant about it. I got it on here the other year when I said I didn't like the Tour De France/Yorkshire....."oh it's because you don't understand it/you're ignorant". No I just don't like it.

I tend to agree with you. My son has played Union though his school years both for school and a couple of local clubs. He now plays for a local team in Yorkshire 3 and at that level I have always enjoyed watching him play and the general camaraderie of the club house. I have on a few occasion over the years paid to watch the Rhinos Union sister club (under its various names) But won't be wasting my money in the future. The difference between watching Union at HQ and watching Proper Rugby is huge and Union does not come out of the comparison well. For mine top flight RU in this country is ponderous and dull to watch when compared to League and Southern Hemisphere RU.

Yet in the top flight, they win out in their ability to generate cash (and cherry pick our talent) :DEPRESSED:

I was brought up with RL and I've tried to have patience over the years and not compare the two games,but I still can't like it .I am the same over here with NFL and I'm still giving it a chance and appreciating the good bits ,but can't last for over 4 hours, I.E 5 minutes remains 20 minutes later they are still playing.I keep telling people about the culmination of our season .

I always think that the NFL is a good game ruined by the desire to sell more TV advertising, beer and hot dogs. :WALL: A 60 minute game that takes 4 hours to finish un-blooming-believable :?

It gets me when it ends no whooping and celebrating the clock just has not enough time so they just stop and turn and walk off and after well over 3 hours the stadium is half empty long before the end

Has US RL got a presence in Philadelphia, lionarmour87? It's a bit of a double edged sword, looking for success in the US. If they take to the game, RL might drift into 4 hour + games :shock:
