[QUOTE="gingergenius, post: 490390, member: 33219"] Well, the majority of discussion about rugby comes from fans of the national teams who get very excited every 6N/ TriNations/ World Cup. Some of those fans will stay on during international 'quiet periods' and will talk about the Heineken Cup, Super Rugby or some of the smaller club competitions. But I'd say their main interest is generated through internationals. Rugby League simply doesn't have this interest, because international League is so fragile. I love watching the four nations, but I never get [I]excited [/I]about it - it just doesn't have the same intensity or passion that international Union has. League has a great institution in the Origin series, but it's hard to get worked up about this if you're not Australian (or even from QLD/ NSW). So frankly, you've got your die-hard Super League and NRL fans who'll talk, but there must be other forums which are much more League-focused for them to go on. This forum is, essentially, a Union forum where you can talk about League if you like. But it's rare to find people who like both codes who'll want to talk about them on the same website (Olyy's one of the only I can think of). I find people who like talking about League tend to be the ones who hate talking about Union (unless its being called yawnion) - and this site is not for people like that. [/QUOTE]
