Except with the ARU its true .

RU is a complicated game and not to everyone's taste . In NZ, Southern England, the Celtic nations, France, Argentina and SA it is the more popular code of rugby.

In Australia, PNG and northern England, RL is the more popular game.

Rather than accept this, the ARL try to undermine the popularity of the game in its stronghold, just because they're coming off worse than RL and Aussie Rules in Australia.



The sooner Australian RU dies , the better it will be for boith the NRL, and, RU in the rest of the world.

You never know mate if union dies in Aus it might lead to it's downfall.

You wish



I can't talk for the Southern Hemisphere, but if RU died in Australia it would certainly benefit the game in the Northern Hemisphere ................ the Experimental Laws which were trialled, in order to appease the Aussies, only served to alienate many European fans. The Australians continue to want to devalue and depower the scrum, because they're all a bunch of wimps. They want to turn the sport into a glorified game of tag rugby.

Nah, union wont die in Australia, not while its has ppl like this to defend it:

The fella in the quote is the Headmaster of an Australian Public School. Union players dont misbehave apparently.




Thats one interpretation of teh reasoning behind the ELVs, not the correct one mind, but union does like to rewrite its history and I cant say I blame them.

Getting (almost) back on topic:

Gallop doesnt seem interested but the Aru would like the money and exposure...

Why would any sports lover want to see ANY sport die at all? I don't particularly like one or two sports, but if it makes people happy than so be it. I don't have to watch it or be involved.

Tbh RB the world wouldn't miss galic football, galic hurling, afl, baseball. I'm close adding NFL and Basketball to the list!

I'd keep kabbadi over all of them.

The union dinosaur would be no great loss.

fair enough, but like ginger step kids, someone's gotta love ’em. How awful if we took someone else's toys away.

Kabbadi. I remember when they started showing that on Channel 4. Actually a good game to be involved in, though not the greatest of spectator sports.

They had a hour each of afl, kabbadi and NFL.

I only watched kabbadi!

like watching paint dry IMO - even worse than Synchronised Swimming or 'underwater flower arranging' as the great Des Lynham called it.

It's gaelic football, and I (and 4 million Irish Men and Women) love it

Takes all sorts.

Union. Getting old and run down.

Getting??? Has been for a while. Hence the need for them to "borrow" certain ideas from League.

Wow. You are fast.

lol

You ain't be talking to my wife have you???

Wife. lol

Revenge?

Turn the other cheek?

Naaa, drive a stake through their godless hearts

Too right Parra,they come from the spawn of Satan.

I was talking about ANY sport. Others made it Union.

Careful lads......we don't want to slip down the "other sports" tube do we
