RichieFC Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 @Solario333 cheers mate, with the winning margins the selections go up in groups of 5 as per the betting. So they are, 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20, 21-25, 26-30 etc. As you have crossed over on a few I wouldn't like to guess and change them myself so just edit as per the above 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to have another rugby fan on here. Unusual for a winger to be kicking?? Only 2 others pop into my mind I have ever seen. Yes both different. Union more structured, like American football almost. League has smaller, agile players who use more skill to beat a man or create a gap. It's this part of the game I would like to see Union develop more, more how rugby union was in the old days. With coaches for attack, set pieces and defence, skill is being neglected by a lot of players/teams, who are reliant on structure and organisation as opposed to flare and skill. Union players are getting bigger and stronger, designed to weaken and overpower the opposition. Go through them rather than round them. I watch almost as much League as i do Union now. I think League coaches have already brought a lot to Union over the years, like Edwards and Farrell, be interesting to see what Sean Edwards brings back to League after being in Union for 10 years, so Wigan may be a team to watch next season. Good to have you on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solario333 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) Thanks Crunchie, I really know nothing about Rugby league , but am always willing to learn... I was a kicker from a young age at school.where I played all sports and was an athletics colour. I entered the Rugby for Reading Tigers purely by chance as an office colleague played for them and they were short ....so I played and scored 13 in the first match , one try and three penalties , and from there played 6 or seven matches in 1974/5. The grace of Rugby union is clear once the ball is amongst the tree quarters and the game is flowing it is magical....unless you get caught up on a ruck , then its just pain..... I love cricket more and am a purist , supporting England and hope like most sports some common senses will allow the money men to go away and leave us to our peace.

Not sure when the cricket world cup starts, but must be soon, if you felt like starting a comp. I like cricket but don't know enough about it for comp purposes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like cricket but don't know enough about it for comp purposes. The Cricket world cup is full of advertising and sponsors , too commercial and as such not a subject for anything other than a small punt..... The field would centre around England's performance against India Australia,Pakistan West Indies, and if past history is anything to go by England have a good chance this year. The first draw of the ODI format England play South Africa, and should win..... so I will look a little at the one day format and see f I can arrange a competition .... maybe predicting the winner of each match over the 48 matches .... It probably finishes on july 14 so we have time... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the cricket on now, Buttler going mental with the bat. Can't wait to see my World Cup game in the summer, Im not unhappy it will be an england game, but I would have loved to be at the India v Pakistan game. Might even book a day off to watch it, and hope it clashes with some good racing. My other passion is cycling and thats on too, one on the lappy one on the ipad.
