To be fair they all do it these days RU is getting pretty boring for me, it's all about kicking, eveb in the recent Aus vs NZ it was all kicking, yawn...

I have been sucked into RL since I moved here, cant be arsed wth Union anymore it's just plain boring.

England didn't even looking like scoring a try yesterday where as you felt that Australia could score one at any moment they had the ball in the 2nd half.

I get too frustrated with RL as I don't like the limitation on tackles etc, bit like American Football with 4 downs etc.
In the UK I didn't care too much for RL but it's a much harder game down here, they really pile into each other

I know the Aussie RL had quite a big following on Sky but they didn't renew the deal last season and I know a lot of UK fans were disapointed, probably because of the ferocity of the game down here, it's a religion and they condition the players to eat sleep and drink the game almost brainwashed. In one of the semi finals last season there were 3 guys knocked out cold in the 1st 10 minutes, it gets your attention LOL.

Some of those big islanders really pack a punch, I cant believe I'm actually looking foward to next season, never thought that would happen.
