Any Rugby League fans out there?

I went once and didn't really know the rules but got pissed. So win.

Crusaders into another final. Let's go brumbies

[nousd]

[Molzie]

its on now

I tried watching but when beale scored after the break I knew it was all over for the brumbies and went to bed. final next week will be huge

[nousd]

wadya reckon...first half kickathon?
hope the ref keeps those fuckers onside & away from laying at the back of the ruck
although that could mean he'll be calling penalties at every phase
Is The Cheat playing for Canterbury?

[Molzie]

I'm assuming you're talking about McCaw. If so, yes our loose trio will be a real nuisance for you guys.

I bet the tahs are real worried after last weekend. They went into the playoffs as favourites and now resume as the underdog teehehe

[__________]

I caught some of the 7's game last night...I never even realised 7's existed, it kinda blew my mind.
7 minute halves, 7 a side, full size pitch?! This is all news to me.

Big up the ruby crew any way. One of the only big team sports with any actual sportsmanship left. Fuck football, bare overpaid dudes just pretending to be hurt at every possible opportunity. Rugby is where it's at.

I still don't understand why they don't go for more drop-goals in rugby though...it's a fair bit easier than going for a try

[nousd]

cos then you'd be Johnny Wilkinson...
There's kudos in tries, often boos in defeatist field goals
Yeah, having your body piledriven by 120kg makes soccer dives look really sooky.
And at game's end, you laugh with the bloke who did it: Good one sport. Hope your shoulder's fucked.

Finals day is here. Crusaders by 8

[Molzie]

Probably one of the most exciting super finals in history. The Tahs played a near faultless game of footy.

Don't think mccaws penalty was fair. How could he have incorrect entry when he was the tackler? End of the day imo the best team won. Good for Australian rugby.

[therapist]

That Aussie lock looks like black Jaws.

[nousd]

ha ha
but he's only gotten fully engaged this year
thanks to coach Michael Cheika

yu complain about McGaw penalty Mozzie...
justice for The Cheat I say
but what about their big winger's try?...his foot was out!
would'a been an injustice mate
and SOOOO good to win by one point
at last

dad can die happy

also thanks to Andrew Mertens
Foley's kicking coach

and Nathan Grey
the Waratah's defensive coach
(he was a hard centre in his day)

yahoooooo

[nousd]

thank you to my kiwi friends
for not bringing up your triumph over our rabble
McKenzie's warped loyalty to the Brumbies certainly didn't help our cohesiveness.

[Molzie]

I was just thinking today that I needed to show some poor sportsmanship and rub it in sd5's face.

Har-tee-har-har what a humping!!

At least the wobblies are looking slightly better than the boks at the moment. It's only a matter of time before someone folds to the argies

[nousd]

true true


(at least The Cheat was sanctioned once & we showed our tumbling skills)

[nousd]

youse poms that follow league probably know this already but
the two best players for their respective teams in our NRL grand final
were chooms!
James Graham, ex-St Helens was Canterbury's captain
& Sam Burgess, ex-Bradford, was voted man-of-the-match
mainly cos he played with a broken eye socket & Souths won.

having 3 poms & one traitor (Inglis) took away from Souths win for me.

[Shum]

Jarryd Hayne going to the NFL.

[ehbes]

Jarryd Hayne going to the NFL.

dude has outside linebacker written all over him

[Shum]

dunnow if he would be big enough, i was thinking nickel corner/safety but he'd make a pretty sick kick returner too.

[ehbes]

is he fast enough for a position like that?
