@mangimosbii Serbia.

[einmurfy]

despite what that dickhead nathan says most aussies are stoked people around the world are starting to realise rugby league is the greatest sport on earth!

[druzik01]

They are indeed, but even there are prejudices within the NRL ranks, anything outside of that comp is scoffed at... but the attitudes are slowly changing.

These games are a lot of fun to be at since you still get access to the players after the match and to hang out and talk.

great to league played in other parts of the world.. good on them

[druzik01]

It is great and they are pretty much all locals, not many heritage or overseas players.

In fact this year the Serbs have had some of their players get offered pro contracts in France and England... they along with the Russinas are the movers and shakers in Europe.

What a fucking dick you are. So basically you don't want rugby league to expand to anywhere beyond a small area of australia. Its morons like you that give aussies a bad name. Im sure most of these players could smack the shit out of you personally anyway..

[MightyMick77]

Good video mate, Good to see (Hopefully) RL expanding on a global scale, Most people will only need to see a game once and be hooked!

shadappa ur face. Union is getting better but League is and always will be the superior game imo

[legendthe1st]

would be epic to merge the two, get the best out of each and make 1 global game that would rival football. The English game would absolutely explode because of it. 25+ pro teams, with some pulling in crowds over 25,000.

I know they are different games, but surely by taking the best from both sports and creating one sport which would be similar to both would be amazing

[legendthe1st]

at club level, league is a better by miles. it's a better spectacle, better games, more exciting, better atmosphere, more passion etc.

at international level however, union wins hands down. the fact that only 3 teams compete with each other in the rugby league world cup (nz, aus, england) compared to the 14 nations that properly compete with each other at the RWC. (England, Scotland, Italy, France, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Australia, Wales, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Canada)

@jobo1954 rugby is chess league is checkers, every player does the same thing nothin' technical about it. same thing every set of tackles. tackle 1,2,3 run up. 4,5 through the hands and kick on the 6th. not that hard. league is boring and predictable. rugby anything can happen at any time, depending on how you wana play the game.

@whessly

Watched the Leicester and later Saracens game yesterday. The game isn't technically better than league it's just boringly inferior. Played in the whole by retarded ruperts, who can't pass or tackle, just kick and ruck n maul.

[whessly]

@jobo1954 exactly what your last answer stated, not because old farts didn't want commoners to play. if you want running watch a marathon. union is a good mix of disciplines league 2d crap.

[jobo1954]

@whessly suggest you read a few books about this subject. The break came not a a result of wanting professionalism but because working class players were losing pay. Anyway, read about it, you might learn something. As for Yawnion in any form being better that league, sorry but someone should remind the union wallers that William Webb Ellis actually picked the ball up and RAN with it, emphasis on running, something that's sadly missing from union.

[whessly]

@jobo1954 broke away for professionalism. union has many more dimensions to it, easier to watch. super 14 is almost as popular as league in aus, even though there are no games even played on free to air tv. union bbetter all round.

@druzik01

well said druzik01

[jobo1954]

@whessly

Child, try playing both then you will see the light. Were yawnion and League get a fair go on terestrial tv, league is always the more popular. Problem for league is the snob value that yawnion has. Remember, the old farts didn't want commoners even playing the game, which is why we broke away.
