Nonsense.
As an avid reader of the publication, I would have noticed you in there.

Union's getting too much like League these days, far fewer scrums, lineouts and less men committed to the rucks and mauls.

Not many League players can hack it Union level except Jason Robinson. Andy Farrell too slow and cumbersome, Henry and Robbie Paul out of their depth and Iestyn Harris for Wales - what a disaster.

Stolen from QLD's ABC Coast FM yesterday:

What's the difference between the NSW Blues and a toothpick?

A toothpick has 2 points.

Mat Rogers was pretty good too, but generally I agree with you. Very few league players have made it in union. League is played mainly by meatheads, whereas in union, players have to think.

Are you sure you would not like to re think that? There are far worse things that the UK has given the world....

Union - the game for people not good enough or tough enough to make it at league

Also known as the RSL - retirement sport for leaguies

No. It's definitely rugby league.
