"Prefer union, can't buy into the 5 tackle rule.
Although there have been some great players that changed codes and lit up union"
I agree. The game constantly stopping is very off-putting. But union is much harder to understand so not as easy to watch without being a fan.
But I'm a fan so it's a no brainer  |

The posh v working man is a lazy stereotype. Although you do have to be brighter to play union because you have to be alert to options; you don't have the choice to lay on the floor and pretend to be a recently landed fish. Union doesn't stop until there's an offence so players need to think more |

But have you noticed the league influence lately. Lots more running and league type played rather than hoofing it |

"Neither.
But the question isn't posed neutrally, so your result will be skewed.
Why isnt it a neutral question ? "
The way you've posed it.
Do you like proper real sport or do you like this thing I'm shitting on? Is basically what you've said. |

Was bound to happen over time, as soon as the proffessionalised Union. Players were bound to get fitter and play more dynamic rugby. |

I was brought up watching both codes.
And still love watching both.
Completely different games.
Its ironic that League used to poach a lot of Union players, when Union was still amateur.
Now its the other way round.
Having played both...id say League is more physical. |

"Think your overthinking it. Its banter and abit of of fun that goes on between league and union supportes but as ya dont like either then it dosnt really matter does it "
If you want the answer to the question, asking in the way you do won't get it.
I also think "banter" covers a lot of things that are unnecessary. |

He seems to be getting plenty of answers/responses above, having asked it how he did.
Everyone else saw the joke.
So why start a row over a subject you arent even interested in??
