I played it at school, followed Wakefield Trinity for years, and I still don't see any point to it, or understand the rules  |

Wahey! Don't waste money on the orthodontist getting him nice straight teeth then!
I was fly-half/winger (I played Union) up until a couple of years ago when I had to gibr up... I loved it.

Used to play prop and flanker at Douglas, back in the day. Dropped in to see a match yesterday for the first time in ages, still exciting.

Well done Tom !! Ace pics Smiler, a proud moment !
Good to see you're letting him try both codes, I did the same.
Lets hope he sticks to league though as we all know Ra-ra is for profs and tofs and not proper rugby at all !

Don't understand league. I've watched my mate play but I still find myself asking things like "Why's he putting it on the ground?" 'Tis a good game, though, as far as I understand it.
Union's still better.

I've played both...but mostly league. I tried Union, but it just wasn't as much fun to play.
Watching either is very entertaining.
However, League wins |

Anyone contemplating taking up rugby league should first get hold of a copy of "This Sporting Life", starring Richard Harris. It was shot in and around Wakefield when I was a teenager, and is very authentic to the times.
The players in them days would get a fiver to top up their wages working at the local pit, with maybe a bit of a bonus if they won. If they got to Wembley, forty quid..........

Oiiiii! 
I only played Union because the school wouldn't let me start a girls league side, they were non too happy about me starting a union side either, but my teacher was a wuss...! 
And they didn't play League at Uni, either, Wales is big on Union (although they do well at League too)

Hey up Smiler, what a bonnie lad! Did ya chain him up in the backyard when ya got home a give him a good hosing down with the garden hose!
Can just imagine him running through the back door yell "mum, we won" but leaving a trail of mud in his wake!
Beltin mate, beltin!
You could do with some of that mud to be honest, try and hide that great mug of yours!

Yeah "run for your life!" and a pre-requisite is also to have either been born brainless, or have had your brain removed at birth....very similar to sidecar racing!!!
