NRL is big in all the dumb suburbs.
I prefer league - much simpler and easier to understand. Seems to have more rhythm about it.
Union is frustrating to watch as there are so many penalties plucked from nowhere and time is wasted while players line up a kick at goal, pack a scrum or set up a line-out.
Seeing a scrum packed over and over cos it collapses or rotates is one of the most infuriating things on earth.
League people like Fatty, Sterlo, Johns boys and Paul Harrogon have more personality in their little fingers than Gordon Bray, Budda Handy, Peter Fitzsimmon, John Eels, Nick Far Jones etc.
The NRL is far superior than the ESL, but the due to exchange rates, the ESL pays far more. One ESL game recently had 12 Aus/NZ born players, where it's rare for good English players to come to Australia.
I occasionally watch the Super 14s on Fox Sports and it compares favourably to NRL games I've watched - but where would league fans rate the NRL comp on a worldwide scale? Is the English League better in standard?
Rugby League.
To anyone that says it's a boring game, tune in to State of Origin 1 and witness the fierce intensity of the tackling in the first five minutes...
Rugby union franchises all have really shyte names too.
Who's playing against each other this year?
This year it's Queensland v New South Wales.
Crusaders is one of the coolest names going around I reckon.
What about the win-loss record of other States and Territories against each other?
