[QUOTE="sanzar, post: 128530"] Yeah, you're heading into dangerous territory saying League is like a glorified game of tackling touch American Bokke... League is a vastly different game from Union, and though it isn't quite as multifaceted, it certainly does still have its fair share of tactics. O'Roth recently said how much he liked the 40-20 rule in league because of the extra tactical dimension it creates, but generally not a lot of new-comers are aware of it. Also the fact that you have to keep the ball in play is very important for tactical kicking. A good team can continually pin their opposition in their own half by putting well placed grubbers in their in goal so they can get repeat sets, and if you've ever seen the attacking kicks of Andrew Johns you'd know that there a lot more tactics than you realise. The game is also massively intense, often more-so than union because of the different nature of possesion. As you said, in Union you're always trying to attack the ball, but in league you're really just trying to knock down your opponent, so the crash and bash action focussed nature makes it very entertaining.
