Union player run far better lines than SL players Sl players just drift most of the times. You get a player like Lyon who cuts an angle and people cream themselves!

I have many Irish (RU supporting) friends and we debate RU vs RL a lot.

Hence we analyse each others games.


I stand by my statments.


O Driscoll would get nothing out of at least half a dozen RL centres.


:lol:

Even by your own standard, that was an awful post.


Still, at least you didn't get the grammar and spelling wrong.

Well I show my ignorance of the Super League as I do not watch it. I watch Wigan and that is it. I much prefer the NRL.

If you are seriously trying to compare O Driscolls centre play vs England to Faz (which you were) then you are deluded.


Now on your other point, I would rather have, for example, Carmont in a Wigan RL side any day of the week to O Driscoll. Any day.


Against an organised RL defence O Driscoll would be made to look what he is - very very average.

Now, given 5 years of the Communist Cap, I have no doubt that the future generations of RU players WILL be better than their SL counterparts.

However, for the moment, that is not true.


Carmont is a decent centre were getting carried away. He not in the same class as Senior was or even Gidley is now. Driscoll is a much better player than Carmont. Driscoll breaks tackles most games and is a different type of centre to Carmont. Driscoll leads the side well and is one of the best captains in world rugby of either code.

Driscoll would walk into any SL side. And the prietsman85 has a valid point. BTW you called all runion players crap once you said Driscoll was Trash. Hes the best player in the competition.

AS for Shane Williams which seasons videos have you watched him play. He was average this season ok he did get injured but hes not even remotly being good enough for SL. On current form will not goet a place on the wing for the lions. Flyute is only half decent from what ive seen of him.

But let's analyse your statment there, for amusement value if nothing else.


I presume you mean Union players, just to get your grammar correct and enable me to understand the point that you are making.


So Union players run better lines than RL players eh?


:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:


Are you SURE?

No I didn't. I called O Driscoll trash.

Stick to the facts please, and stop making things up.
