I think the one in the top pic could have hickeys.

Did the bottom one have brain surgery?

I know which one I'd want on my side in a fight :D

I'm delaying naming my fantasy NRL squad until I know who is getting charged with rape/betting scandal/drunken behaviour ;)

Can you imagine wanting to watch Rugby League? It is just for poor Northern monkeys who don't have the skill to play football or proper rugby. I mean, why does League even bother with a scrum :rofl: ?

On average, Australian rugby league players are more skilful than the worlds rugby players. ;) Just so you know, they retain the scrum to draw half the defending team out of the back line to open things up for an attacking move. Interestingly the laws were changed to make the game more exciting, rather than the opposite that you might be used to ;) I sometimes enjoy watching rugby but the overall skill level and flow of the game sometimes leaves me disappointed after watching Australian rugby league. I'd say in general the kiwi's are the only exception to that.

Why don't they just scrap the whole sport of Rugby League and then rule the world roost in Union for years?

Yeah he had one installed.
Everybody knows that Footballers are precious and Tevez is a Tosser. I don't get why Duncan Ferguson gets sent to jail for headbutting an opponent yet Willie Mason Knocks out an England player and everyone thinks its all part of the game. Rugby league is a game for blokes who don't have the skills to play real football but have the size to have a good pub fight.

Shows how much you Southern scum know about football. That's a list of the English cities with most 1st division/Premier League titles.
At the end of this season United will have equalled the efforts of all the London clubs combined.

Not all Northerners are poor. Sure, they talk very strange - and 10 years in Australia makes them sound really strange (have they ever heard of a sentence?) but I've met some good Northern blokes.
