the best thing to do would probably search for the League rules on the net.
Maybe even the NRL site has them on there somewhere?

I have an old paperback copy which is titled "Laws of the Game and Notes on the Laws" circa late 1960's from my courses to obtain junior referee certificate and coaching certificate. Forgotten most of it now other than the essentials.Originally Posted by Cobber

Different strokes for different folks John. You clearly have no love of Union, in the same way that I find "Big boofhead picks ball up, runs at big boofhead in front of him. Gets tackled, rolls ball between legs. Repeat ad infinitum" dull too.

Thanks for all the replies
After some thought I decided to give it a miss
As Dave says League seems to be just about bashing into each other, I find Union to be a lot more enjoyable. More variety with proper rucks, malls, lineouts and scrums
That and I'm not sure I have the time, I want to get my next Landy project finished

Up in Qld they are commonly known as "The Rah Rahs'.It's common to go to a test between The Wallabies and The All blacks with a 50 thousand crowd barracking for the ALL Blacks.That's because of the number of NZers Living up here.All on the Gold Coast.
The same with the AFL.The crowds are predominately southern refugees (Mexicans south of the border) and they live on the Sunshine Coast.League ihe sport up here and in NSW.Figures for the State of Origin show that .The same for AFL in Victoria figures show that the "Rah Rah'" game comes a sad third.I think soccer would give it a shunt in Victoria too.
Them's the facts from another highly educated "Boofhead' forward who played Rugby League.
DOH,
John.
John, it's much the same in the UK. There's a north/south divide between the two rugby codes, and it was always that the north was the working class, poor area, and the south the rich, affluent area. So league was played by the state schools, and union in the public (actually private!) and southern schools.
In days gone by, you got into playing union by virtue of how much money Daddy had, and league took the common oiks. These days it is clearly all about athletic ability rather than Daddy's bank account, but old prejudices die hard there......one of the many reasons why we left.
So your place of birth dictates which sport you can play and support.....
