They are but credit has to go to good coaching by the Sweaty manager, what part of Scotchland is he from again ?

The game needs some radical changes at professional level. Starters would be reduce the team to 12 or 13 and make the defending side start 15 yards from the game line.

Better still, revert back to amateur status, have fat unfit props and let the players concentrate on ale drinking instead of training.

Then it would be Rugby League. A far superior game to Union in terms of fitness of the players and entertainment for the spectators.

I once saw a stat somewhere about the amount of time the ball was actually in play in both games. I forget the figures but League was ahead by miles.

I played Union at school and League as a semi-pro for Bramley and Dewsbury. League players are fitter than even their top class Union counterparts.

Spot on Woodman. League is far superior to Union.
A lot of Union watchers would need to keep drawn out scrums, rucks and mauls though, as it gives them plenty of time to have a nip of brandy from their flasks while not missing any 'entertainment'.

I can understand why many people love league but its just not for me I'm afraid, we have to agree to differ?! England at the moment need a change of attitude and big kick up the arse. Nice to see the French keeping the ball in hand a bit and actually going over the try line! Would be nice if England started doing the same.

Simie.

I agree we need to change the team, but who will come in and make a real difference? I think the changes need to be deeper and maybe remove the Leicester influence from the rest of the coaching team. Leicester have always had a crude approach to the game, based more on brutal beasting sessions than skills.
