im a advid b ball fan but i love to watch NRL and union they have to be one of the most physically demanding sports around and its always good to watch a Australia vs kiwi clash and state of Origin.
Dnt mind to play rugby myself years of practicing agility in b ball helps specially when ur not 6ft tall and 6 ft wide lol.
any ways im dam sure that there are plenty of players in our state that are more then capable of playing NRL many probably do but then many would rather play for there state then go to say paramatta eels to play, and what this state needs is more variety not to mention having our own NRL team would heightin the sporting profile of south australia.
I dnt mind AFL but i find NRL just as enjoyable to watch if not better, none of this shirt grabbing crap just straight out flatten the guy its like watching WWE sometimes.
Its strang thou Rugby has being around longer then Basketball has in this state yet it never quite got there but when it did it was a short lived thrill ride, and out of some of the rams games i got to see, they easliy packed out adelaide oval everytime i was there.
i rekon alot of ppl would underestimate how many ppl out there are followers of NRL just the scene for it here in adeliade doesnt exsist so not much is said so before you go baggin this sport just think there are ppl out there who love NRL as much as you love NBL so be positive and let em give it a go again. im looking forward to the day it comes bak.
