I...I have never really watched a Rugby league game. It used to be that League was the pro league and Union was more elitist and amateurs. <BR/><BR/>League is a little more similar to American football in that when you get tackled or are downed, you get six chances or downs. Also the field markings are far more similar to American football then Union rugby is.<BR/><BR/>I guess with league you see less kicking and more running attacks since getting tackled does not mean releasing possession.<BR/><BR/>I played in some 7's tournaments during the summer. Games are short but holy shit is it tiring. I used to feel like my lungs and heart were about to explode at the end of the game from doing about 30 full sprints across the field during a game.CycleDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08933822029791530613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-48441725667880197322007-10-17T16:06:00.000-04:002007-10-17T16:06:00.000-04:00cycledan do you like rugby league as well?

When I lived in scotland John Rutherford (scottish fly half) was a family friend and he always compared league to professional soccer and union to national soccer in that you can buy the best talent in league to an extent.The heroin sheikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860402732123149415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-10608116312619852892007-10-17T15:32:00.000-04:002007-10-17T15:32:00.000-04:00ferocious bluebird,I actually went to your blog si...ferocious bluebird,<BR/>I actually went to your blog since I was curious what you had to say about Simmons. Didn't have time to read it all but you basically said many of the same things I have said in this comments section. I used to read him and like him. <BR/><BR/>Now I just can't get over all the 90210, Karate Kid and other references, his defense of the Pats and Red Sox and everything else. I don't know why I would want to read his running diary or anyone else's for that matter. <BR/><BR/>I am not into Australian rules football that much but do love what they call Union Rugby which is the form played currently in the World Cup (Finals on Sunday).CycleDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08933822029791530613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1191717383750689062007-10-17T15:19:00.000-04:002007-10-17T15:19:00.000-04:00Have to say, seeing the SUX go down last night was...Have to say, seeing the SUX go down last night was pretty fulfilling.
