Love Rugby Union & League but pissed off at the Super League War and the selling out of Rugby Union.

A big crowd, the brightness of daylight and a dry track also makes for better watching on TV Lordy.
Afternoon rugby Tests a must
Good read mate. Rugby jerseys these days are an abomination. Especially the Wallaby jersey. At least they got rid of the grip tape.
New Pumas jersey spits in the face of tradition
I liked your article Jim and it is “curious that rugby union still gets a crowd”.
It’s mind boggling that so many Roarers would defend it especially since the game they’re watching these days is nothing like the game they grew up playing/watching. That is Rucking, Mauling, No lifting and No holding the ball on the ground.
The running game has become a kicking game
“I think union is in a brilliant place right now” You’re dreaming mate or are you sure you’re not John O’Neil? Rugby Union in 2012 is dogsh*t. It shouldn’t even be called Rugby Union but Rugby Product instead.
I have had “the exilarating experience of a pick and drive up field, a rolling maul from a lineout or a game played in -5C with sleet followed by a warm shower after” but that’s not what you’re watching on telly mate.
Jims’ article is right on the money but the solution is to go back to proper rucking/mauling, no lifting in the lineouts and no passing off the ground.

Good read mate but I think fans do care that Rugby League gets its Billion + deal. Just because it’s the toughest sport going around and the players deserve it.
Rugby League needs to believe in its own awesomeness and control its’ own destiny. Which means taking all control of the game back from the media scumbags who don’t give a crap about fans.
Forget the billion, I just want quality footy
