Absolutely. I'm sure i read recently he was getting married to an Australian TV personality so that will be factor in his decisions moving forward. He will have his pick of NRL clubs, i don't see him back in SL until he is over the hill or if ever to be honest.

Avenger are you one of those that looks in the mirror as a portly middle age guy and thinks, I look good?

He may return to league but with Bath likely to be in the Champions Cup every year he'll be playing in European games that are intensive as any International against the French and Irish sides (sadly not the Welsh) packed with world-class players, so it's no foregone conclusion. I think he'll stay as leaving early would be seen as being a quitter.

Maybe he is staying in Union because he enjoys it, have we ever considered that?

No.

I wonder which energised Sam Burgess the most: winning a Grand Final alongside Greg Inglis in front of a packed stadium of cheering fans, or standing around with his hands in his pockets waiting for another scrum to be re-set?


Tough call...

What about playing in a 6 Nations every year in front of packed stadiums of cheering fans in countries that he's never played in, playing in Argentina, South Africa, Japan in 2019 etc or going on the 2017 NZ tour with the British & Irish Lions? Or playing the same 2-3 countries every 2-3 years in RL?

Tough call...

Mods - doesn't this belong in Other Sports?

Im sure you know what you mean but I haven't slightest WTF you're on about.

Apart from this post I'm refraining from contributing until the Union trolls have finished their fest over each other's posts!

Compare the post below, from this thread, by 'Galliant':



to the one below, from an unrelated topic on the Saints forum from one 'Facsimile':



Dual identities? Split personality? Troll?

Jimbogalliafaxsimile will be on here shortly to deny that it's him

D'oh, looks like troll let his (?) guard down.

Why does Facsimile post the same crud across the club boards?

You missed out Molly Mallone, his latest alter ego.

When you say 'playing' I'm presuming you mean 'Standing around getting cold while another set-piece takes place?'

Travel to Argentina and watch the ball being endlessly kicked from half to half. Travel to Japan and watch men with huge chins stamp on each other.

It says a lot about a sport where the fittest and busiest person on the field is the referee...

With them being completely different games some people are made for league and some for union. Lynagh, eales, mccaw union legends who would've been pants in league, and it works both ways.Burgess is too good to be pants but he is an out and out rugby league player for me and if he hasn't realized that already he soon will. Then there's the likes of Johnathan Webb who should never have been playing rugby of either code never mind at international level.

1993 I think it was, J Webb did really well for England, he was deceptively fast, as he had long legs.

R McCaw would have been a very good RL player. M Lynagh would have done fine as a halfback also. J Eales, well you never know, he was quick, I reckon he would have bn okay as a front-rower, if he had wanted to be.

The most popular topic on the first page of a rugby league forum is about a Rugby Union player? As the old adage goes, the one thing that connects Union and League fans is they're both obsessed with Union?

As I heard on Yes, Prime Minister earlier, very droll.

But obviously that's an opinion not fact. As of course many watch both sports, and I'm sure I like others think that inevitably RL will bring back continuous live rucks.

Oz Welsh, 'the changing man' is Loonier81 pretending to be me by aping what i post. He's also 'facsimilie' and 'The Printer' and pastes posts of people that make him look stupid. Its not that difficult to do though

Yeah of course. I have nothing better to do than create multiple user accounts on an RL forum to troll a messed up halfwit on the other side of the world.

There really is something not quite right about you, seriously. Since your ban you've completely lost the plot.

I'd seek help or log off from the internet for a few weeks.

Nice of you to admit it

you are the only one who's persisted with saying that I have been changing accounts and lo and behold, an account pops up aping what I've posted from 'the changing man'. If it makes you happy you crack on

What is wrong with you?
Seriously, seek help and soon.

You really think i'm the only person who spotted your "ingenious" creation of multiple user accounts?

Is this thread off topic enough yet mods or are we waiting for Jim, Molly or one of his other cleverly created aliases to come along, fool us all and drag it down even further.

You're beyond help



You really think i'm the only person who spotted your 'ingenoius' creation of multiple user accounts?

Whatever makes you happy

You lot are weird.

I know sorry, i've put him and his umpteen aliases on the block list.
I won't be rising to it again.

He really does need help.
