I played both codes and enjoyed Union much more, but I also played everything from Wing/Fullback to Prop (Big kid who could kick and run!) now I just a fat bastard who loves props and scrums. Union for me is a battle for the full game, League fans say there is too much down time in union with all the kicks and re setting of scrums. I disagree with this, since it became illegal in League to play at the ball at each play the ball the game is essentially stopped between when the referee calls held and when the dummy half touches the ball. If you add up the 350 or so tackles per game there is much more lost time in League.
Union is supreme because it is a contest ALL of the time. Once you are tackled you are fighting for the ball, in the scrum you are fighting for the ball. League is one dimensional. I think a high level union game is streets ahead of a high class league game. Unfortunately Union gets a bad name with games like the Baa Baas game this year. I think if every child in Australi was shown the Reds v Bulls S14 game from this year then Union would dominate in Australia.
I only watch Rabbitohs games in League, and this is usually taped so I can fast forward through it, as for union, I try to watch a minimum of 4 games a week but try for every game
