    With you on this... I lived in batley for a few years and had to go to some RL games.

    I've been to a 2 RU games and find the game much more interesting.

    That was an awesome game, full throttle, no holds barred, physical, brutal and no chuffing poncing about like Oldham players did on Tuesday night when someone went near them.

    I just can't be doing with the tackle, stop, roll it back nonsense. It's too stop/ start and about yards for my liking.

    I have seen very exciting RL games, but I'd watch Union every time ahead of League.

    Top notch brutal test match, if you'd been a player you would understand (no personal criticism there)

    Certainly Union over league, union is blood and Thunder, league is too much fannying around.

    But each to there own....;)

    Well played England tonight though

    Whenever I have watched RU it seems that it is refereed on such a technical basis that I can truly say I have no idea what is going on.

    its an awful game, fecking boring.

    although slightly better than it used to be due to the heavy RL influence within the game these days

    Its OK every now and then, I'm no big fan but I prefer it to league which I think is just rubbish. Football and Cricket for me.

    I agree Union has improved due to RL influence, sadly though League has let it's core values go.
