Which is the poorest and most working class region in England? The midlands, and we play rugby union and not league 🤡

@freddiemedley5580 If you actually took time to research the history of the sport, you'd know what I meant. Players in the North couldn't afford to play without getting paid, as they had to take time off of work, but the southern teams players could. They had to form their own league so the players could get paid. Also, the seccond poorest area in the country is North East London, but being a poor area is irrelevant. Do some research on the history of Rugby league before posting a silly comment 👍🤡

I can't see it, they're two very different sports now. The union hierarchy were snobby idiots and League absolutely were right morally. I just prefer union gameplay

​@@Benjieboy247that's pretty much my view as well. Union elites were dicks back in the day, but it's still the more fun code to watch for me.

We don.t want the two games uniting. League is a much better game and far more enjoyable to watch.

And they put him on against Australia when the game was well and truly lost.

Yeh nah, opposite actually. You'd know this if you were a forward and played union. 80 minutes of not stopping and if you watch NRL a forward will do one run then return back into the line up. In union you're in the ball constantly . The backs in both games are the same, princesses hanging around like seagulls waiting for a chip

@@russe19642 I was talking about the defensive aspect bro. If you were a forward in league, every set you defend you have to go back 10meters from the tackle made and come back up to meet the offense, unlike union. You also have to keep up with the ruck speed to avoid leaving a gap in the defensive line also avoid being offside. League is fast paced bro.

@@russe19642 obviously you've never played league.

@@EzzyKay-eq8di played all four codes moving and living all around Australia growing up. Touch rugby is more aerobic than league and similar to union mate. I played second row for years and you have to be at every contest and don't get a breather after one run like in league.

@@EzzyKay-eq8di you're probably the type that believes AFL isn't as hard and AFL players couldn't play league because they're not tough enough 😂😂😂

Indeed he should have played number 6 or number 8.

But it would of taken him at least 5 years to be a proper rugby player with no cracks in his game no one’s gonna waste money for that long.

yeh so he would of had to make the transition earlier, thats what i mean@@beianimeyah24

yes he would need to learn to play in the forwards in union@@beianimeyah24

Sam wasn't given enough time and they had no idea where to play him. Not his fault.

This is why a hybrid game would never work. What to keep? What to abolish? As a League fan, union scrums and line outs would be so traumatic to watch.

Really?

What about rucks?

What a load of garbage you speak absolute sheeeite

League is closer to the NFL/NCAA football with the down system.

@@luisfernandor.pdealmeida1229 true,play stops.

There are a lot of similarities between the ball in/ruck in Aussie rules, certainly when considering that lifting players was not allowed until the late 90s. If you watch classic line outs without lifting, it looks very similar to an AFL ruck. But for the rest, can you explain it more in detail? Watching all 3 codes, league generally appears closer to Union to me, flankers are rovers? Can’t kill it? What does that mean?

League players could never handle a proper scrum or a fucking maul they would get way to tired.

@@jarradmorgan8549 your delulu, bro league players do double the work of a union player in a game....

@@anthonymakiha7523 then do a effin proper scrum or don’t have one.

@@anthonymakiha7523 afl 4th most attended sport on the planet I rest my case. Rugby league nowhere to be seen haha.

@@jarradmorgan8549 mcdonalds also sell the most burgers in the world, that mean they have the best burgers in the world? I rest my case

No lineouts or no lifting. One or the other

Says the Australian

As opposed to the ridiculous amount of penalties and sin bins in league?

Another deluded yawniion fan if rolling mauls endless scrums countless penalties, and ball out of play for up to 32 mins in some games, is your idea of a thrilling game then your welcome to it,

If it’s that simple why are there so many ex league players coaching at top Union level and no ex union players coaching League.

Standards in league have always been exceptionally high. Even at the higher end of the amateur game. Union has taken so much from league since it went professional. I personally love the rolling mauls and the tighter more formal scrums in union. The things that go against league for me are the rubbish scrummaging. Union has become a bit of a mess and probably needs to lose a couple of players as the midfield gets too crowde with huge bodies ambling around. Union needs simplifying and league has maybe simplified a bit too much. A good game of either is just about the best sports spectacle you will see.

Should invent a new league/union hybrid with 14 players, get rid of scrum and bring back union lineouts

@@JK4ManC Yawnion scrums are a joke. When was the last time the ball went in straight?

The difference is, league is just entertaining. Union is only entertaining if you are smart enough to understand

League makes me yawn

I use to love League I grew up watching it N wouldn't miss a game of Origin or the broncos playing but when my brain developed with age I also developed an acquired taste for a more complex form of rugby. Now I find league super boring and lame and brainless to watch. Rugby Union is this best rugby and should be the only rugby played in the world. Sorry if i offended any League fans but it's true once you understand half the rules of Union you will realise how lame League is and how much better and competitive Union is.

​@@trilli7914 Ok first of all you sound dumb so stop acting like you know everything. Second of all Rugby Union and League are fun sports in their own way. There's no who's smart to understand nothing.

​@@trilli7914 Also what you said was an opinion not a fact lol😂

Yeah cos it was played by the country’s public schools who end up running the country and not working class northerners who could do little to expand it, brain donor 😂

In England at Twickenham they are cooperate piss ups .Many watching the game don't know what's going on .Even the refs and commentators! Still the endless resets at scrums gives one time get a drink and the play hasn't moved an inch.Still what a splendid way to go on the razzle.

It went professional years before union ever did there is a reason for that the players and clubs have vision there not blind folded by tradition or the idea rugby cant better itself

@savethebeesplantherbs8809 field hockey has a bigger following than league 👍 can't compete with union globally so compared to the 2 it's pretty amateur

its the foundations of rugby and as a rugby league fan i appreciate what union gave rugby league it allowed it to be created and find its own way foward however the future is merge both codes into a world sport to rival football thats the future
