This post is hyperbole, the way the mungos exaggerate the supposedly negative plays in Rugby, and ignore the boring metronomic style of league, defies logic. The last 5 minutes of action in the Reds, Chiefs game, is next level, they know it, and has more unpredictability than the history of Rugby league games.

No, I mean media bias, at the expense of all other sport in Australia with a decent following.

So a set of 6 takes, what 2 minutes?
That is 40 kicks per game. Kicks in Rugby are tactical and a way to gain territory easily, if you understood the game of Rugby, you wouldn’t use it as a so called negative.
A Rugby scrum has 2 tonnes of force and many moving parts and has to operate like a well oiled machine, unlike the embarrassing lean to, that is the league scrum.

League is nothing more than a hybrid form of Rugby Union, and would not exist if not for Rugby. League is a very, very simple game. No contest for posession, gifted territory, by 1 out running off the play the ball, a stoppage every tackle. 1 attacker versus up to 5 defenders. The 5 tackles kick, my turn, your turn nature of the game, makes it very hard to watch. League and AFL is only bigger in Australia due to the very clear media bias in this country, not because are a better “product”.

Hodge also has a big boot, with all the talk about a lot of kicking, I imagine Eddie will employ his ability to kick long distances, particularly on the high veldt, played a big part in his selection.
I just hope our chasers are on the spot to put pressure on.

You clearly don’t watch Rugby, otherwise you wouldn’t make such a stupid comment. Stick to my turn your turn, sounds like it suits your attention span.
