YNBK, I don't know what you mean. I played the real game (Union), the one where you don't have to give up the ball after 6 tackles & where forwards do a bit more than just run around, grunt, fart, & tackle a bit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For those who want to do a bit more tomorrow, try the following: Cwm Rhondda Guide me, O thou great redeemer, Pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak, but thou art mighty, Hold me with thy powerful hand; Bread of heaven, bread of heaven Feed me till I want no more; Feed me till I want no more. Would be great if the Kop could do something to remember Gary Speed & his Welsh routes.
YNBK, 15 all, my service. Union forwards, run, tackle, scrummage, ruck, maul, support in the line out, & score the odd try or 3!! So much more than just running, tackling, & then giving the ball back. A good League pack will hold onto the ball for between 3 & 4 minutes at a time before they're forced to kick it & hope they can get it back. Union forwards can hold on to the ball for most of a whole half & upwards of 20+ tackles.
One or two places - Iraq, Afghanistan, I've even been to Lancashire, albeit for a international run. As someone else put it better than me, not only are they wrong side o' pennines, they couldn't organise a %%%s up in a brewery!!
Boggers You will never convince me Union is better than League! Only one thing I would swap and thats proper Scrums thats it!
I genuinely feel sorry for people who come from that county which is full of rain, misery, excessive rhoticism, poverty and inbreeding. Wouldn't wish it on anyone.
a bit late i no, but good win for ur boys against florest, great tribute to speed!! is the game saturday on tv, anyone?
