Ask the French RL about the Nazi collaborators, The French RU.
If Sam goes I hope he enjoys his thirty pieces of silver.

Absolutely spot on mate.
Union has, and continues to do its utmost to kill off the sport of Rugby League.
I totally detest eveything to do with Rugby Union.
Anyone who departs for Rugby union I also feel the same about.

What game doesn't want the best athletes competing. If there's someone with the right skill set playing a different sport who could be brilliant in your own sport you do what you can to get them.

Too many rugby league fans just want to blame anything and everything on rugby union. They've done plenty to harm rugby league but people need to look closer to home to see the real reason why league languishes behind union in many areas except for quality of the game itself.

Nobody is more frustrated by the RFLs inability to run our game, but believe me the mainstream media are in total cahoots with union, we are seen as the village oiks.How many times do you hear TV and Radio presenters "talking up" the game, the hopeless RU world cup being the most recent example,face it they are still after us and are not to be trusted.

Well that is a couple of hours of my life I will never get back. Are there actually any rules to union and do they not bother with defence? Talk about a cure for insomnia that was it. I was expecting some smart a*se remarks from Stuart Barnes but he was actually bordering on being complimentary about Sam and loved the bit towards the end when it was mentioned that Sam played for Wigan and Barnes said "I bet he can't wait to get back to Wigan". Delighted when he scored at the end but hope the experience has put him off completely. Still can't quite take in the fact that over 51,000 actually paid to watch that dross.

Sams comments after the game sum it up.

"I was so raw I didn't know what the numbers for positions were, where I'm from people don't know what Rugby Union is"

Well said that man.

Well done Sam. I can't believe anybody watches this crap on a regular basis ,what a woeful advert for yawnion. i suspect most of us only watched 'cos Sam was playing. Fortunately he escaped unscathed and hopefully learned enough to put him off union for life. Why we would want to risk a player of Sam's talent in this PR exercise for yawnion is beyond me. I hope someone coughed up lots of loot for the privelege otherwise it was a glorious waste of time and effort.

The standard considering that was supposed to be the "best in the world" vs the "best of the rest" was appalling!.

Just goes to show that a league great plays his first game with only 1 weeks training and doesnt look out of place and even scores a try.

the last time a union "great" came over to our game, in his first outing he lasted about 30 seconds before being carried off the pitch half concuss

Yes we do. Its Shit!

I think some of you need to take your bigoted blinkers off. There were some class players on that field yesterday, the Aussie fullback, stand off and wing to name just three. We can't produce a centre in our game but they appear to have ones with pace and power. Habana is a flying machine.

sams try just like a hollywood script. shame it wasnt the winning try.

But at the same time, a splendid advert for league!
