in case you havent guessed by now - i am a union fan but there is aff all on tv so i am watching the challenge cup final.

i just dont get it!!! no rucks to tur over the ball, the scrums dont push each other, tackles rarely get taken to the round....

i dont want this to be a union/league bashing thread., just an explanation of what i am watching lol

I play union, national level, and I can honestly league is harder. It's fast, intense, the tackling much more physical.

You're looking for the speed, the fitness of the players. They're 2 different sports, best not compare them, just enjoy the game

Newcastle and Gateshead

i love watching a properly good defensive rugby league game... it is fantastic which is why I love watching "state of origin"......

you should be able to recognise the defensive lines as most of the best union defensive coaches started off in league...

There's still bone crunching tackles, and higher impact tackles because there's no rucks.

Unions a much slower game, though much stronger because of the different type of players, ie slow moving props to shit off a shovel full back! League they're all very similar.

But I prefer union

Union is not necessarily slower...watch southern hemesphere games....

The scrum half does not keep thee ball in the rucks...as soon as the ball is available its out to the backs..

The north have made union faster...once a ruck is called the scrum half has 5 seconds to do something with it or its a penalty...

Need to know basis

I am a big fan of rugby players...union or league, the physical side of the game has the same appeal!
