Ahhh John, back on to your favourite Socialist topic aren't we? My how all those public schoolboy rah rah types don't appeciate t'working class proper mans game of Rugby League. Rugby League fans are, without a shadow of a doubt, THE biggest snobs in sport. My cock's bigger than your cock playground mentality all the way. 100% League 0% Union stickers in the car, "It's just kick and clap" yada yada ad infinitum. Fortunately I can appreciate both games and feel all the better for it. The Grand Final was a magnificent performance from Leeds, fantastic game plan and superbly executed after a shaky start. The RU World Cup final? Pretty intense at the time (Sat in an Irish bar in Valencia with 2 stag do's and fairly pissed at the time!) but, yes looking back a VERY disappointing end to a refreshingly upset strewn competition (At least there could have been 6 winners in Union unlike THE complete waste of time .. The Rugby League World Cup!). The fact most people are lead by the media and not their brains these days explains a lot, "The try that should have been" crap etc. All pandering to the Nationalist within with shots of Charlie and Hewitts offspring claiming a try (Shows how much those public schoolboys know about the game). When they should have been asking about the two crossing penalties that weren't and were given that changed the game.
