Union is more of a "sport" but league is more fast paced and fun to watch.

just watch both, avoiding the many obvious shit games because there are only a few teams worth watching in the big comps for both codes.

>user complains WNBA players aren't hot
>literally a league with hot football players
>user still doesn't watch

Fuck off and die, bitchbros.

very problematic post

Recommend some teams to watch?

yawnion is fucking awful, based league is fat paced and entertaining to watch

I don't know about union or English rugby league but the NRL is pretty good. Majority of the teams are fun to watch

At the moment we're getting some good matches out of our top two Queensland teams the Cowboys and the Broncos

Here is last years grand final, the ending is why the sport is entertaining as fuck

League if you're blue collar, Union if you're white collar.

There's a video to explain it, league is for dumbfucks with no brains and it gets really repetitive because it has the complexity of conkers, union has ""tactics"" and is more complex but also has a bit of standing around.

Depends if you want dumb entertainment or an actually interesting game.

Depends on the level of play. Both are great. State of Origin and union internationals are top notch. League internationals still kinda blow. At the club/provincial level, NRL edges Super Rugby, especially after all the expansions. Still entertaining and better than NH but the format should have stayed as Super12.

>I am so desperate for pussy I'll look at anything with a set of tits

I went to high school with the Chicago running back in the LFL. She was pretty cool, but looks like a man.

>men are so pathetic we can sell them anything as long as there's a bitch showing some tits and ass doing the selling: The Sport

The only right answer ITT

But only virgins and pre teens care about the LFL

Union obviously can't be too complex if Kiwi's are good at it.

The people who care about LFL are the same people who stay up past their bed time to jerk off to girls gone wild commercials.

That was a salty response.
League is for dumb cunts though, you can't deny it.

You're a dumb cunt

The only womens sports that have serious competition (I say serious lightly) and attractive girls are volleyball, tennis and certain olympic sports

Just because your city's teams are shit, is not a good reason to start watching non-American sports.

seething teebeehech

>people doing this
>2016
You retarded?

It's not that complex. In comparison to league, it's fucking chess to conkers.

The people who did that are probably doing equally cringy and pathetic shit in the current year

Where do you think you are?

Rugby a shit. Watch AFL instead. Fox Sports 1 airs games sometimes.

Union = Test cricket = NFL
League = One day cricket = CFL
7s = T20 cricket = arena football

swap plebgue and 7's and this is correct

This. Also union fans are pretty petty, as evidenced in these posts

I imagine Rugby fans encountering Plebgue """fans""" have much the same reaction that Homo Sapiens did when they encountered Neanderthals or when the British colonists encountered Abos

The pinnacle of Rugby Union is viewed as the penalty goal. Every rule in the entire game is geared towards maximizing the amount of penalty goals that can be attempted within 80 minutes. Its great viewing. What a thrilling sport.
Rugby league is OK but I can't deal with all that running and passing. Sometimes a whole game can pass without a single penalty goal being kicked! Can you imagine?
I hardly ever get to sit and watch for eight minutes while a scrum collapses and repacks six times, followed by a penalty goal, in rugby league. If league wants to compete they need far more of it.
Also, there's far too much game time in rugby league. They set up too many plays and go far too long without slowing the game down with penalties, line outs and 4 scrum re-packs. What rugby league need to do is make field goals and penalty goals worth more, so more time is spent standing around watching one guy kick a ball. Did you guys see the latest Durban Pirates vs Roturua Razorbacks game? Six penalty goals to five! The pirates had no answer to the Razorbacks tactics of kicking the ball out then collapsing the scrum.
Its this level of tactical sophistication that is missing in rugby league, where as you rightly point out, its just a bunch of athletic guys trying to score tries against each other. Yawn.

THIS is an anally ravaged thugby yawngue disinfo agent.
There are actual, genuine, legitimate statistics that indicate in 2015, the National Thugby Yawngue has an unprecedented amount of penalty goals kicked. Coaches are more conservative than ever and take the penalty goal almost every time they are in good field position.
Keep in mind too that thugby yawngue fans THEMSELVES constantly bitch about the stoppages in THEIR game and how they are losing interest in the game. What with the horrible refereeing, constant video reviews, and most importantly of all players starting slap fests to try and goad the opposition into throwing a punch. Then the game stops, and all the slapping is reviewed, and it is found that not a single punch was thrown and the referee has to then issue a warning to the retarded, poor, obese thugby yawngue players who are literally too stupid to play their own game properly.
Thugby yawngue literally cannot recover from these undeniable, empirically-based facts.

Union if you enjoy sport, League if you enjoy loud Australian shitposting.

League is awesome if you like your sport decided by a drop goal in extra time.

Union if you're into beersies and intelligent sport with your mates.
League if you're into fucking dogs and pissing into your own mouth.

League was designed to be more appealing to spectators because it needed to be, it only exists because of clubs splitting off to become professional so it needed to attract paying spectators to cover wages.

I prefer Union, but League is a better spectator sport in theory. Of course it is really just big plums running into each other for 80 mins and it's tactically very limited, but it's easier to watch and understand than Union. Pro Union nowadays is getting ruined by over-officiating and penaltyball though

>Pro Union nowadays is getting ruined by over-officiating and penaltyball though

Fucking this. The penalty rule really needs to be revised. Or at least make the distance between the posts smaller.

It depends, do you like fat cunts trying to figure out the rules of the game they play professionally while the actually exciting players stand around and wait for things to happen? Or do you like the same person running into each other repeatedly, a kick to the corner on the 5th and a penalty kick if someone on defence fucks up?

Your answer should be 'no' as they're both shit and you should watch based AFL instead.

League is infinitely better. Union is more traditional rugby, but league is a refined version of the game much more fitting for the 21st century

>Pro Union nowadays is getting ruined by over-officiating and penaltyball though
Maybe in your retarded half of the globe matey
