rugby league or union???

Enjoy watching union, but internationals only, don't follow a club side. Used to watch league as a kid. Alex Murphy and Ray French were great commentators, loved seeing Des Drummond, Henderson Gill, Lee Crooks and Joe Lydon... that era. Tend to find union flows better as a game.

This for me as well.At ineternational,especially in the big games.Union takes some beating.
 
Union for me but they're vastly different games.
I enjoy watching Aussie rugby league though as the skills on show are great to watch, Super league is pretty dull in comparison.
 
Rugby League, far more skillful game... been supporting Wigan for years. I remember the clash of codes game between Wigan v Bath at maine road. Wigan shat all over them.

Widnes fan so League- but none of this so called "Super" League though, mainly because they won't let us in it.

Christ, no wonder I'm so paranoid being a City & Widnes RL fan!!
 
League for me. Been a Wigan fan all my life and it's looking good this year although I do constantly fear that we have a bit of a weak backbone and concentration isn't 100% once we're in the lead.

I'll watch some Union internationals but find the Premierhsip to be boring. There's too much stop start and kicking in Union for me to really get into it. League is much quicker and more skilful in my opinion.

Bath won 44-19 in the Union game but Wigan scored 3 amazing tries going the full length of the field. Wigan battered Bath in the League game 82-6.

A union fan myself. Went to twickenham in 2005 (or was it 2006?) when sale sharks won the premiership against leicster.
I'd reccomend going down to edgley park on Fridays as last seasons director of rugby has been replaced. His tactics were like Sam allardyce only rugby.

Kingsley Jones (last seasons DoR) is still head coach though so don't expect too much to change!
 
Either

My dad is originally from Leeds and my mams a manc, so was was brought up watching man city and leeds rhinos (strange combination i know). Still support the rhinos, and have been to the swamp the last 3 years, to the watch the Superleague Grand Final.

Went to Australia in 2001 for the British Lions Tour. Barring watching city, i still rank the first test at the Gabba, to be one of the best sporting occasions i've been too.
