Why delayed games are good for the sport.

[Bucking Beads]

You think the whole 32000 at the game friday night went to cheer the broncos?

We had the Lebs for the bulldogs there, and the bogans for Titans and Manly

So there wasn't 32000 bogans at Suncorp on Friday night.

And all 50,000 at the reds games arnt "tea sipping, Chardonnay drinking, caviar swallowing yuppies"

But i expect Coxy to hate on union, he doesnt understand the game ;)

Seriously does anyone (even those who play, officiate and run it) TRULY 100% understand RU? [icon_confu

What's not to understand in it? It has a set of rules that can be interpreted differently just like our dickhead officials.

RU is far more exciting now days anyway.

I would watch union if it was on FTA tv, I don't know the rules but it is ok

Nope, the Reds are more exciting to watch nowadays. And Yawnion (except the Reds) rules are only second to "where did we all come from?" as a mistery!

Plus some of the broncos fans i have seen at games are indeed bogans, you said so yourself talking about those ones who kept going for food icon_thumbs_u

And everytime you look in the mirror you see a bogan.

I don't understand why they still try and make their scrums a contest. I don't understand why there's 1000 different things you can be penalised for and a referee picks and chooses when to penalise them.

I don't understand why a game that's so called the "running game" weights points so badly that most games are decided by penalty goals.

The only purpose Rugby Union serves is to allow the morbidly obese to play sport by plonking in the front row.

Union is a game of field position. Whoever calls it the running game is a loser douchebag loser person. Loser.

Why not contest for scrums? I wish the NRL would do this. Scrums in NRL are so friggin pointless.

There advantage rules are used a hell of a lot more, for a lot more things.

However, people bagging it are only bagging it because they haven't actually given it a chance, and see it, don't understand it, and decide right then and there that it's shit.

Translation: It's force-em-backs with head gear.

The scrum itself in league is pointless, but it takes the forwards out of play and gives the backs some room to move. In Union it's so bloody painful watching them pack. "Crouch, touch, pause, engage"...zomg. Gay.

Their advantage rule is the ONLY thing I like.

Rubbish. I understand it perfectly. I've watched many a game over the years. And it's rugby league's poor cousin with a speech impediment.

Na. Not even.

I'm not arguing with you about something you don't like. That would be as pointless as anything Rocky says here.
