[QUOTE="Canadian_Rugby_Guy, post: 132484"] Being Canadian, I've had very little exposure to either codes of rugby and league even less than union. I do find that league is very similar to gridiron over here. The athletes are extremely tough and well-developed, but the mechanics of the game are fairly simple and direct for the players and as such there is no development of the players tactics and essentially their athletic mind. To me, a union player is a much more complete athlete because the mental and physical really need to work together with even genetic freaks such as jonah lomu who you'd think wouldn't really have to worry about tactics and just bash it up. gridiron players don't really have much to understand, just a lot to remember, they're turned into machines and it's the coaches who call the plays. I'd say that league is fairly similar (albeit a step up from gridiron) in that without rucks and mauls and the rest of the good stuff in Union, you can't really create the most creative player.
