its not that its boring that gets me its that a team can sore 4 tries to nil and still get beat which happened a couple of years ago in the magners league newport-gwent dragons got beat 33-30 despite scoring 4 tries thats got to be wrong

what and that can't happen in RL

I watched the game and I wanted us to win but what I saw was a game with played by idiots. Can any of these players call themselves rugby players? Some of the decision making was laughable!

Few things I have a real problem with in union is the negativity, get a penalty in the opponets half and the majority of the time a penalty shot at goal is attempted and going back some time now, myself and my grandad used to sit and laugh at watching thier forwards try to pass a ball, clueless!!!!

Of course it can, but the point frankie is making is that there are too many points on offer for either a drop goal or a penalty in RU. More than half the value of a try.



Simple logic dictates that it would be a rarer occurrence in rugby league, especially when you consider that their conversion is worth less than half the value of a try.

no it cant really tell me in the last twenty years when a team has scored 4 tries and lost plus in the world cup two weeks ago there was 4 matches and just 2 tries

if it was me i would not even let the game be mentioned on rugby league forum board the game is totally boring

Indeed. Other Sports is down there in the dungeon where onion belongs.

I'd also be interested to hear of a RL match in which the losing team scored 30 points and was beaten by no less than 16 penalty kicks and a drop goal. Or was it an even greater drop goal fest dayvoz?

Here,here

i know its unlikely but possible and just a weird reason for wanting England RU to lose but hey some on here wanted them to lose because they are "posh"

Can't see why anyone would actually want their own country to lose at anything. More likely to result in union sides throwing big money at our better players too.



Wonder how much influence mike ford has on things?
