Are you all there mate?

I didn't have to search google to find this forum. I use it (far too) frequently.

If you go to the first page of any thread and scroll to the bottom of the page there is a box which says what people searched for (in google or elsewhere) to find the thread.

The Loig "World" Cup is on at the moment, and I found it astonishing that there are players who played in the last World Cup for a different nation! They mustn't have enough players to go around so just let the not so good NRL guys tog out for whoever they wish

Yeah I suppose.

I mean, we could always do what Union does and put in shithouse players that have no hope. I mean, when was the last time your side beat the best in the Awwww Blicks?

oooh yeah before I forget, Rugby League really does give me the shits.

Shits me off when the offseason is around, gives me even more of the shits when my team wins 8 games in 100 attempts and it gives me the absolute shits that I can only watch 3 games a week on FTA TV.

C'mon @parraEElsNRl, a year or two back, the Sharkies losing streak was so long that some Hobbits had courted, got married, fallen pregnant and given birth without seeing the Hobbits Team (Sharks) winning a game of Fivekick, home or away.

To continue on the theme of the international bankruptcy of Fivekick.

This web site is a classic in hype and could almost qualify as out-Americanising the Yanks in terms of shamelessness hi-jacking of the concept of the title "World". http://www.rlfowc2013.com/

Festival of World Cups - indeed.

Police RL World Cup had 3 teams participate: England, Australia and Fiji

Armed Forced RL World Cup had 4 teams: Australia, UK, NZ and Serbia

Wheelchair RL World Cup had 6 teams compete: England, France, Australia, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Student RL World Cup saw a total of 8 teams participate: Australia, Scotland, NZ, Russia, England, Wales, SAF, and Ireland.

Women's World Cup saw 4 teams compete: NZ, Aust, Eng and France.

They say that the World is a small place. In Rugby League, it certainly is. A sum total of 10 different National teams took part in the "Festival of World Cups".
I reckon even Sydney Junior Rugby Union would be able to organise a Festival of that magnitude without too much difficulty.

It looks like Greco-Roman Rugby Powerhouse USA will be taking on Australia some sort of final (1/4s I think), having beaten Wales by surprise.

<Yawn> Festival of World Cups - Yeah Right. Does anyone really care or think that it has any more relevance that the Bathurst Churches League Social Soccer competition?

Love to hear the phone call home, to mum, from one of these players, trying to explain that they have been selected to play RL for their country!

The title of this tread highlights some of the hostilities there are towards League and there is equally similar hatred aimed at Rugby from League, however I'd say that those views are on the extreme. There is a large cross over between those who enjoy both and an even bigger group who don't know the difference between the two. Richard Hines has written a tongue in cheek article on this topic, the quote below sums it up:

However, while the protagonists insist the games have as much in common as gridiron and hopscotch, from the outside union and league become ever less distinguishable.

The 'split' occurred well over 100 years ago. Those involved with it have long passed. Now the gripes centre on who is poaching who's talent, but no one owns the players at any level. They can do what they like.

Why does the animosity exist? Why can't both sides get along? Perhaps one day we'll have to

Quite a good article,with a lot of truth.Like you,I just cannot understand the hatred of one code by the other.I have enjoyed playing and watching both games over many years(I am an old bastard).Both can serve up shit games at times,but the great games more than make up for those.
Of course there will always be a rivalry between all football codes,but it should not detract from the skill of the athletes who play them.

Highlights from broncos bulldogs commentary last night,

"If the refs awards this try it will set a bad precinct"
"The ball was vicariously close to the touch line"

That was in the 5 minutes i watched.

How do these people get paid to convert thoughts into spoken words...

Should all NRL players be barred from pubbing/clubbing?

It would seem that they can't be trusted.

SF, word on the radio this morning and on nine is that he was escorted from the nightclub in handcuffs after an incident with a young lady. Maybe more coming for this story.
