Rugby League...
Rugby League is like Rugby Union but different for example it is limited in how much a team can control the ball in one go.(They get 5 tackles before they have to kick or go to ground)
New Soth Wales vs Queensland hae played each other about 81 times since the inception of SOO and the games won drawn and lost for each team is about 38-37 in favour of NSW with a few draws.
It is a yearly event with normally each State hosting 2 games of the 3 game series on alternate years.
Right now the score is 4-4 at the start of the 2nd half.
Who do you think will win?
NSW or Queensland?
NSW wear Blue and have the Cockroach as their animal and are supported by Donkey
Queensland wear Maroon have the Canetoad as their animal and are supprted by Shrek.
OMG NSW scored
Poll coming...

I have no idea what you just said, but NSW can only win with such an excellent choice of supporter. *nods*

Oh yeah NSW scored again...
14-4
I forgot the Donkey shrek option
I support Queensland
They are playing the game in Melobourne, Victoria, Australia i.e. neutral venue.
The SOO is all about Queensland hating how NSW has all the money cheats and have the refs in their back pockets and didn't sure international caps fairly...
NSW stinks!
MAROONS!
Shrek loves MAROON!

Queensland win!
Personally, I always prefered the Wartars in the S14, but mainly the crusaders....
Oh, you talking about that training game, League, oh right....I dunno then. it's aways seemed a bit simple you know. Hit, pass, hit pass....(repeat 6 times and then let the other team have a go.
I'll go abck to me Rucking and mauling.

Being from Melbourne, I follow Aussie Rules Footy. I don't really care about either rugby code. As a neutral observer, I would agree with you. Rugby Union is a much more interesting game to watch. I find Rugby League can get quite tedious, the way they just bang into eachother, get up, then bang into the next tackle. I much prefer the way Rugby Union players try to keep the ball alive, keep the play moving.

Queensland win!
MAROONS!!!
Yep Queensland won.
John Howard the Australian Primeminister was booed by at least 40% of the crowd which isn't surprising seeing as 'League' is the sport of the common man.

Got to love the AFL with all the elbows...
I enjoy the NRL more than the Super 14 but less so than the old NPC just because of the community factor!
GO SHARKIES!!!
