The Leeds Warrington game last week and the grand final this week were two of the best games I've seen in a long time. Total commitment from both sides, and good refereeing.
What I find refreshing, as someone who watches both codes, is how progressive Rugby League is in the way it is continually looks at how to improve the rules to make the game more entertaining (and safer). Its obviously driven by the need to survive commercially, but they are not stuck in the past.
Contrast that with a bunch of Union players who have just shown a pretty poor display of professionalism both on and off the field. They are still acting in a way that a team of pub players would have done 30 years ago. Drinking contests and throwing dwarfes are fine for the amateur fun player, but in the 21st century I'm afraid they need to put all that behind them at national level.
oops, just slipped of me soap box!
