Gordon Bray referred to Australia as the QANTAS Wallabies when commentating the Bledisloe last week. I hate that game.
I used to work with a whole crew of rugby ****s, listening to them try and belittle league at every opportunity is the reason i hate rugby. Apparently league is a boneheads game, they never had an answer to my questions about why the fat **** forwards seemed to only crawl forward about a millimeter at a time.

Come on caps they have proper scrums but...

Forgive me Rick how could I forget 12 fat blokes having a rough hug in which something like 60+ possible penalties could occur ultimately leading to the winning penalty shot.

My favourite is their "try of the week" which looks like your everyday Rugby League try. Promote that game as a combat to insomnia and they might out rate children's shows on fox's kids channel - maybe.

My uncle (Sharks fan(??)) text me last Saturday about a Wannabies win. Told him if that got his old heart racing check out the Sharkies win.

Bit harsh mate. Matt Dunning was a true athlete.

I dunno, I miss the fat blokes in rugby league and contesting the scrum.

Showing my age I guess. Oh for the days of Peter Tunks, Steve Roach and Marty Bella lol.

Best you'll have now is running into George Rose contesting a bucket of chicken on a Saturday night in the city after the reduction to 8 interchanges.

I got George -6.5 wings.

There was always something that made me uncertain about you - Brumbies member - that'll do it.

Good on rah rah but **** all else going on outside penalty kicks. Charge kids more to play the game in order to fund the 'elite' of the game so can't grow their own - who should we poach from League this time in another feeble effort to make our sport relevant in this country?

Haha

Next season I'll invite you to a game and we both can spend our Saturday night freezing our nards off at Bruce Stadium, so we can both go to Casino Canberra afterwards only to be denied for wearing a beanie

George has taken the cake that is true. Then eaten it, and gone for a yum cha!

What a ritzy joint that is lol

I'd say I'd go if you shouted cucumber sandwiches but I'm a little hesitant of what meat might make up the cucumber with your sort.

I heard a description comparing the two codes.

Rugby is a thugs game played by gentlemen.
League is a gentlemans game played by thugs.

You dont have to hate rugby if you follow league and vice versa. Personally I dont mind union and afl for that matter. I used to work for the swannies back in the day of warwick capper, I played union and followed the sharkies.

The old saying that I'd come across was


Cricket is a game for gentlemen played by gentlemen,

Football is a game for gentlemen played by hooligans,

Rugby Union is a game for hooligans played by gentlemen,

And Rugby League is a game for hooligans played by hooligans.



There'd be countless variations though.
