Hi guys, I need some words of advice, as this is a rugby league forum I guess I can openly discuss my disapproval of other codes.
My youngest boy plays both league and union, loves league, tolerates union, but loves the football in his hands. My oldest tried union for one season but hated it. I’ve never watched a proper game of union and never will, however I don’t get the attraction to union. There are 4 teams in his age group at the union club and only 2 in his league, the parents think the union is just terrific, the game they play in heaven so they say.
So I watched his game yesterday as I do and will always support whatever he wants to play, but after watching very little actual football in the 1st half, I thought I’d time the amount of football played in 2nd half. So within a 25 minute half – there was 7 minutes and 13 seconds of football played, that’s 28% of the game is actual football, as opposed to at least 80% in their league games. I wanted to leave but hung in there.
So am I one eyed or stubborn, or is this code actually laughable, I don’t get the attraction, however there must be some truth to my disapproval as union gets very little publicity and their senior competition is basically non-existent. Sorry if I’ve offended some supporters of this code
