Thread: Rugby League 2020

The Challenge Cup in England between the Sydney City Roosters and who ever won the soap dodgers league and ...

The Indigenous vs Maori game.

^Can't wait for the regular season to start David52, but these warm-up matches are at least something to watch till March 12. Speaking of which, it seems I'm not the only one jonesing for some real action going by this:



The women's 9's NRL game got 3 or 4 times more viewers than the 2 Union games, and 7 times more viewers than the soccer

^ Those are TV viewers

More people watch Gardening Time.

^And I'd rather watch a gardening show than girlie fucking soccer with tattooed wimps rolling around in the grass pretending to be hurt. Do they practice the falls where they arch like a banana as they throw themselves on the ground? Why the covering of eyes as they try to come to grips with what appears to be compound fracture pain levels, despite video replays showing the opposition player never even touched then?. How can they recover so quickly once the ref makes a decision, is it because they're so physically and mentally tough? And the glaring question of course is how in the actual fuck can anyone watch that shameless bullshit while there's a perfectly good gardening show on? You do know they're acting right, it's fucking WWE without the contact but with a ball.

Honestly, women NRL and AFL players would kick 5 colours of shit outta them in a bar fight

^ I'm not gonna be able to sell you footy am I?

It wasn't always like that. Jonny Foreigner brought that along and to compete against them in Europe you had to learn to dive yourself. If you can't beat em, cheat em.

I'm gonna do you a compilation of 'soccers' hard men whilst you are waiting for your egg chasing championship. Ok they aren't burly, unathletic, cauliflower eared, ugly 22 stone fat fuckers only atoned to feeling each other up in scrums and kicking an egg out of touch whilst making two metres every minute and spending their spare time getting pissed and playing various questionably manly drinking games and drinking each others puke.

Ok, will start you off with an Argentinian of Simeone-esque hardness

Both going for the ball, no diving or rolling around after.




Serge Aguero...A proper man"s man, I'm sure you'd agree

So you're admitting it's diving, how could anyone support a "sport" where that sort of bullshit is acceptable. Impossible to watch for fans of real contact sports, in fact it's beyond pathetic that anyone could get excited about watching grown men turn into poofs and dive. Gayer than cock flavored lollipops..

This should be good, there's not one of them that isn't a fucking pussy . Here's what a genuine hard man looks like, even though he's a total teddy bear off the field and is just an overgrown kid. He's one of my favourite players even though he plays for another team than mine (yes we can support other teams and players in NRL in appreciation of just how good they are, we can even sit among each others fans at live games with nothing more than friendly banter and a few beers during/after the game with new friends being the likely outcome). So here's Jason Taumalolo as a counter offer of what a hard man looks like, compared to your handbag carrying poof Aguero:



And here's a sight any soccer player (or supporter it would seem ) would shit their panties over if told to tackle him:

You are talking about Union, and forgot to mention a penalty every 40 seconds, pathetic ball-handling skills, scrums that need to be packed 4 times before another penalty is awarded, more time spent with hands on hips during stoppages than actual play, and being a totally boring sport in general. See viewer numbers in my post above to get an idea of support levels, and keep in mind the Union season starts much earlier than the NRL season in some comical attempt to recruit League fans for their ever dwindling numbers. When women's NRL pre-season novelty games like 9's murder main season Union mens games when it comes to spectators and live-tv audiences, you don't need to be fucking Einstein to figure out why..

Your photoshop skills are first rate, I'll give you that. To use a pic of 1 poof bumming another and add grass and a ball into it to almost make it look real. Almost. If it was a real pic, the bumee in front would do a double-pike dismount before hitting the ground and body-rolling for about 20-30 meters (as kids do at play) with his hands over his eyes because as you can see, the bummer has almost made contact with his foot.

Yeah I'm looking forward to that too.

What's the base-line for qualifying? Those that don't get a pedi with their manicure?

^First hurdle will be finding some hard-man not named Serge

Slight lament- League might as well not exist if you live in Adelaide. I wouldn't know how to get it on the TV- some pay service presumably, no pub that I know of shows it, no true croweater gives a toss about the game. This is aussie rules turf, only. The home town rivalry between Port & Adelaide is quite amusing.

The Indigenous vs Maori game is on soon.

The Challenge Cup in England is on in the wee hours of tomorrow morning

^Saw that FFS

That's like FIVE 1st grade players from different teams GONE for the season (or part thereof) with ACL injuries before the first round has even started. And 2 of them are Broncos
