its so easy making fun of union

what a joke of a sport.

at club level its s**t, at international level its teams are full of ex NRL players

Many EX NRL players in the South African side or the Kiwi side, or the French side?

you thought < 10.

One in the aus team = "union international teams are full of ex NRL players"?

You are an idiot

He always was. Aren't both his parents English anyway? His mum def is.

one in the australian team huh?




1. wycliff palu
2. rocky elsom

2 isnt 1 dunce

who? When did these players play 1st grade?

so we have two no names (from RU schoolboy backgrounds) and one player who has been signed predominantly as a publicity stunt by AFL. Hardly like the NRL is producing masses of players for other codes!

they tried to play first grade, and got dropped to reserve grade.

their nrl clubs basically told them they had no future in leagye and to go to union

now they play for the wallabies

one is apparently captain

number of NRL players in other sports worldwide - 30 - 50
number of union / AFL players in NRL ??








andrew demetriou, the ARU, Japanese RU, FFR and RFU should all thank david gallop for the players we give them

NFL has a AFL player, Still not sure what point your trying to make? Do you think it is agood thing we are producing players for other sports because we can't afford to pay them what they can get in other codes?

ps it's not like there has never been any Kangaroos from a schoolboys RU background.

the nrl has lost between 30 - 50 players to other sports, throw in another 90 to super league and still its a fantastic competition.

the fact that other sports are chasing our players is a reflection of how good the sport is at producing them

when it comes to juniors the nrl beats AFL and union worldwide.

we really are that good.

indeed if AFL is at all credible in queensland, why does it need to sign a RL player for publicity?

the brisbane lions have been around for donkeys years, won 3 straight premierships and still the sport isnt recognized enough in queensland?




RIP AFL

It is called marketing - that is why the revenues generated by the AFL are so much larger than those generated by the NRL - these guys know how to promote a game and extract maximum revenues for doing so - simples!!!

why does a large sport need to sign a player from another sport for marketing?

theyve been in queensland for decades?

why not get a famous AFL player to the club?

I'm sure that will come. In reality there is no bigger way of getting publicity than signing one of the top players in the top code in that city. It'd be like WA Reds signing Ben Cousins, pointless on the field but gets pr off it. pr, now there's a concept the NRL needs to learn!

ps Dally is that the best you can come up with for NRL players filling Int RU teams? 2 RU players that had a go at League then went back to RU after a year or two

the day we need to sign an AFL player for publicity will do we.

we dont need mickey mouse acts to get people interested

our game is good enough to attract people on its own merits

that AFL and union need to do this is a reflection of their failure to match RL as a spectacle.

Spoken by the biggest idiot on Rlfans - comedy genius

Answer the question as to why more people prefer to watch the greatest spectacle on earth the NRL on TV rather than actually watch it live?

You claimed the union international teams are full of ex NRL players, when in fact there are only 2. You are quite possibly, the biggest idiot I have ever met



That said, im not surprised there are so many NRL players instructing their agents to find them clubs in the superior code of rugby.

so i know more about the wallabies than you huh?




2 failed league players = stars in union.

as i said before, without RL union teams would struggle

its lucky the nrl is around to provide players for union GLOBALLY.

Why don't you just trot off to your union loving fagget websites and leave us alone!

Why don't you learn to spell Manly

Never knew dico was spelt as dick head!

Considering the two don't sound alike you wouldn't.
On a serious note your constant rants about the other codes just shows how insecure, childish and sad you are.
You're either 14 or a highlight of how retarded the Australian education system is.
Considering you're up nice and early (probably for school), i'll take the former.

Oh they do sound so much alike.It might take you awhile to work it out,but I'm sure you'll get there!

Oh believe me, I gather what you're inferring.
