[QUOTE="RoyalBlueStuey, post: 123740"] League just feels more contrived...to me it's a stripped down high octane version of rugby union. I can certainly see how people can say league is much more exciting because it's been tailored for that slam-bang spectacular aspect of the game. I have immense respect for the people who play it too as it's so intense, more so than Union. I can genuinely see why you'd be attracted to league and, using the same arguments, why you'd take the **** out of "Yawnion" Or "kick & giggle". The problem is that it's just not for me...to me it's just Rugby training, or something to excite the new fans. It's like comparing Twenty/20 to Test Cricket. I just adore the cut and thrust or Union. The different tactics and gameplans that can be employed, the way different levels of ambition dictate the different options at your disposal, the myriad of different skills you need and the intricacies of the game, the different ways in which the game can unfold, the specialisation of the players and they way they have to fit together for it to work. I'd say that it's much easier to have a bad game of Union but when things are clicking a good game of Union far exceeds a good game of League...there's just more to enjoy. Add on top of this the fantastic tradition of the internationals and it's Union all the way for me. SB [/QUOTE]
