Rugby League. A great game. I grew up in Australia playing, watching and supporting it. Rugby League was invented in England way back in 1895 in a shitty little northern town called Huddersfield, a place where the gene pool is shallower than a kiddies paddling pool.And like so many other sports invented in England.......the English are completely shit at it. The problem is that because we are so good at it in Australia, all the English clubs pay our old has been Rugby league stars to come over here and play at club level. The sort of Aussies who have got too old and slow for our NRL competition back home. The sort of Aussies who get injured in Australia and are told to retire, get offered big bucks to come to England and play because its so easy here. So naturally they do. So as a result when it comes to choosing 13 good English players to represent England in a tournament they are fucked. Because there aren't 13 good enough in the whole country. Because the Aussies have taken their jobs at club level. Oh dear.
The last time Australia played England at Rugby League it finished Australia 52 ...England 4. In the last Rugby league World Cup England were flogged in every game, apart from when they just scraped home against a nation of Rugby League amateurs called Papua New Guinea by 32 points to 22 .
England are captained by a bloke called Jamie Peacock. Jamie could never be described as the most intelligent of people. Poor old Jamie also sounds like a 7 year old boy, high on red cordial, with a speech impediment.
England.
Give up at Rugby League.
I feel embarrassed for you.
Fuck off
