You’re right, it wasn’t. It was a poor game and a let down of a final for one that was sandwiched between two better rugby union games.Yeah… because the Wigan v Catalan final was riveting wasn’t it…
But this year’s NRL Grand Final is one of the greatest finals I’ve ever seen in any sport. And no matter how good Ireland v New Zealand and France v South Africa were (and they were great games for rugby union, like France v England 35-55 in 2015 was), they aren’t as good as the quality of rugby played in State of Origin.
There is too much time with 30 blokes stood about doing nothing for it to be considered better for me. It’s more popular, indeed. But One Direction were more popular than Doves.
I like both. Played League and prefer Club league, but prefer international Union.It's a tradition that has become a major attraction for neutral fans and something they most certainly play up to. I loved that one though, it looked like they were about to kick off at one point, then there's a sort of Samoan macarena tucked into it, before they puff out their chests and have a nice hug. Wonderful stuff. Didn't watch a minute of the game though, league is shite - played by a bunch of comprehensive school thugs ;)
It used to be that way.Just like when i was in a pub in Birmingham when Wales were playing at the Euros, it was full of anti Welsh, Portugal supporting English cunts, really angry gammon cunts screaming in my face.
In my experience, English people are just as likely to support the opposition if Wales/Scotland are playing as Welsh people are when England play.
Its a fallacy that the English support other UK countries but we dont support them

On my bucket list, Lions in NZI think the Lions tours play a big part in building camaraderie between the home nations support.
Many friendships are built on these tours and carried over for meet-ups over the 6 nations.
I'd say the Lions tour is one of the best experiences as a fan.

I thought he was the one on the very right…..Nice one. How do you avoid head contact with that head though :0
I used to play league mate. I was a 9, hooker (played scrum half too once or twice). Uncontested scrums make a mockery of traditional league for me.You’re right, it wasn’t. It was a poor game and a let down of a final for one that was sandwiched between two better rugby union games.

We should have binned off scrums for good like we did in the Covid years. But they brought them back.I used to play league mate. I was a 9, hooker (played scrum half too once or twice). Uncontested scrums make a mockery of traditional league for me.
It was better without them.
I was a Loose Forward when I played at university.
First one was NZ league team I thinkThe first one looks like Tie me kangaroo down sport.
The second is definitely- no rhythm and don’t know the words.
Can’t beat a good scrum for me. Hooker in league is now redundant for all intents and purpose. It was a specialist position.We should have binned off scrums for good like we did in the Covid years. But they brought them back.
