We have 2 Manly players and a Storm player joining us for next year, Michael Monaghan and Chris Hicks of Manly and Matt King of the Storm, my team is obviously Warrington Wolves, the team i follow in the NRL are Souths , thats mainly because we had 2 of their players in the past Phil Blake and Les Davidson.

Real rugby fans can spell! RL players are ****e at Union but not vice versa Why?

ITV are crap at covering rugby. The commentary and after match people are all a bit well......****e really. The adverts don't help either.

Andrew Farrell and Jason Robinson aren't doing too badly I agree with the commentary aspect, bring in Brian Moore to tell it like it is! I enjoy both codes and am loving the World Cup. Saints for the Grand Final again (Rugby league that is).

To fair the whole team has been somewhat hit and miss. However my point is Farell hasn't too badly in union on the whole, he must be doing something right to be in there. Ashton has given him the nod ahead of Olly Barkley for Saturday's clash with Australia.

Oh really, is that why Lesley Vainikolo scored 4 tries on his debut for Gloucester and Jason Robinson has been one of Englands best players in recent years.

Also Australian rugby union has been dominated by league players in the backs in recent times with the likes of Wendell Sailor, Lote Tuqiri and Matt Rogers, Timana Tahu will also be a hit in union.

Their have been plenty of union failures in league and one of the highest profile names was John Gallagher, if i named them all we would he here all day

To be fair Rob union has provided some awesome players for rugby league Va'aiga Tuigaamala and Apollo Perrelini to name two. Also I don't think I'm alone in wondering how a certain Jonah Lomu would have fared in league.

Quiet! There was only 1 of me in my lounge. Neighbours must have thought WW3 was going to start. The telly chair will never be the same again. I killed it in frustration

Yep, pretty much the same in my house - the cat, 3 guinea pigs and the missus went and sat in the garden shed for an hour and a half - I came up with swear words that I didn't even know the meaning of!!
