Absoloute sport on. Look at the last two grand finals? the two best teams in Superleague and it wasnt even a great spectacle.
The quality in the NRL is miles infront of what we watch every week.
What level would Salford be playing in Australia???
We will never get anywhere near the Aussie test side as long as im alive and there's at least another 50 years in me.

I used to like watching it back when you had skilled players like Sterling, Lewis, Langer, Lamb etc.... but quite honestly it's a big sleeping pill at the moment so i avoid it. I'd rather watch SL any day - much more exciting. If the by-product of this is a spanking in International matches then so be it - it's not as though this hasn't been the case in recent history anyway.
NRL's a bore-athon mate - you're welcome to it.
How is the NRL boring?
Its not,its a complete myth.
The NRL doesnt look as fancy as their defences are much tougher unlike super league were the defences are so poor that its a lot easier for teams to score fancy looking trys that look good when in reality most of the fancy trys scored are the result of poor defence.
This fact is highlighted when GB meet Australia and the Aussies score some lovely trys wheras the British players who are used to playing against poor defence cannot do it when faced with a tough defence.
If you think SL is genuinely more entertaining then your kidding yourself,its an illusion due to the poor defence.

NRL is so in front of us oh yes, over the past 6 years how many times has an English club won it? hmm let me count im sure its 5-1 to the English?????? If you want to bum NRL and its so superior players to Superleague just don't watch SL nobody is making you. im sure the majority of people are content watching the rugby they do.
