Official Aussie NRL Thread

yeh ur right...just add gred inglis to the mix for the 4 nations ...

osbourne wont see the start off the new season, and if/when he goes it we be the best thing 4 the eels

 

You can have fat injured Inglis and we'll raise you Matai, Kenny Dowall, Perrett, Manu, Matalino etc etc

How in ****s name did Faifai Loa and Fien get in the squad atsch

Lewis Brown and Beale out of position in the centres :-(

Im thinking Kiwis deliberately through the Aussies a curveball

 

Well an understanding of the structure of the game would help. Blacks dominated the **** out of the Aussies at every break down therefore the Aussies throwing the ball wide was playing with fire because they would basically lose it more often than not. Kiwis played to their strength and played for the foul play which was always going to come because the Aussies were outgunned in everything.

It was a much much better spectacle than the league. Leagues centre is the NRL and is State of Origin. The rest is just plain garbage

 

Don't even bother trying to explain it to this tarded chook. He doesn't evn know his league. He just sits there all googly eyed, slobbering mucusy spit for 80 minutes, then when the hooter goes he adds up the scores on his laptop. Abuhhhhurrrgh!!!

For the record, its unfair to compare athletes from both codes. League is far more free flowing and lays the foundation for people to look good. The play makers and outside backs in league get far more time to prepare and have far more room to work with. Even if the old 5 meter rule in league was still in place, they'd still be at an advantage.

I like union, and like the tactical side to the sport. I just think the rules should encourage attacking rugby, and not to force a penalty. It'd be a wonderful international spectacle if this was the case.

 

Union need to **** off the 3 pts for field goal and penalty, it would encourage much more running, that plus Carters points scoring record will never get beaten :yep:yep

 

Teke i dont agree with much you say but i feel this you make a great point.

The Super 15's was awesome to watch most teams played attacking Rugby they ran and threw the ball.
But come RWC time every team grinded out wins by milking Pen's or getting in position to kick field goals.

I feel Union needs Tries to worth 7 and 1 for the field goal after.

Penalties to go to 2 points and drop kicks 1 point. You make a great case.

This Rugby world Cup was nothing compared to the Super 15's. Every team when it came finals time just grinded out results and never took chances to attack they were afraid of making mistakes.

But i will say this New Zealand were by far the best team this WC and deserve to win it ive been saying this all along.

Soon as teams worked how to beat Australia they were no fun to watch. But i like what you say there needs to be rule changes so Union can be more exciting for us at home.
Who really and lets be honest wants to see 7 Penalty Goals in a Game **** no. Also i really feel NZ and Aus tried to play attacking football but teams like Ireland France and SA just Grinded out results.

Wales were good. Its just a pity that Australia and NZ always have to play each other before the final.

NZ like ive tipped all along will **** the French.

36- 6 NZ's way

 

These people saying Quade Cooper would only get 300k a season in league have VERY short memories... the guy single handedly dominated the S15 with the Reds

 

Quade Cooper will come good and every Kiwi knows it. There will be a period in his career that he will dominate. At the moment he is under massive pressure and I love it

 

Lets face it you dont follow Union do you? I do and have since a little kid. Our point of view is bound to be different

 

Not much. Look being Victorian and having lived in Brisbane when i was younger i was forced to follow League as the Broncos were huge then. Over the years and with the amount of sport i do follow as i mean im well versed in more sports than your average sports fan.

**** i follow and play fantasy and can name most players in all these sports but yeah Teke only really got into Union as of 99.

Australian Rules Football - Follow Hawthorn
English Premier League - Follow Leeds
Major League Baseball - Follow Florida Marlins
National Football League - Follow Miami Dolphins
National Rugby League - Follow Melbourne Storm (Before Brisbane Broncos
NCAA College Football - Follow Notre Dame
Cricket - Victorian Bushrangers
And of Course Boxing
Now i follow these sports more than most and can especially of late im more and more getting into EPL and NRL. **** if they show the games sometimes over here i dont even mind the English Super League Rugby.

As for Union not as much i couldnt name the whole Squad of the Reds or the Waratahs but im slowly learning as for NCAA **** i could name you Notre Dames starting lineup. So dont say i dont know much im learning.

Plus i will say its hard playing all these fantasy teams and keeping up with my life.:good

 

You gave us Cooper, we gave you Fien

 

****!!!

Cooper will come good, I hope he doesnt chop himself before it happens

 

Jesus christ you play fantasy for all these comps? I struggle with just the NRL.

WHat's with jumping to the Storm from the Broncos, that is some disjointed stuff :huh

 

Both QLD teams. Not that much of a stretch...

Not that you can talk you **** about jumping teams! :rofl:rofl:rofl
