    I'm a big fan of Wigan and my husband as well, he brought me to DW stadium to watch it live last Friday, it was my first time ever and saw my crush in Wigan team took a picture of him because I was just few yards away when they finished the game. Tonight we gonna go old Trafford to watch it live, it's the grand finals. Wigan vs St. Helens!

    Rugby League is popular in Lancashire and Yorkshire. I'm not a fan of either rugby codes and prefer watching American Football.

    I must admit they do have more protection but the game itself has more to it than either rugby codes IMO. I find Union especially frustrating to watch as they're forever hoofing the ball in the crowd. It may be part of the game but for me it's not enjoyable.

    You must have been watching the games that Rob Andrew played The only time I ever saw him run with the ball a lock forward managed to outrun him

    Football, tennis, darts, F1 (and even indy car), and sometimes horse racing (well it's always on during the afternoons here in the house so no choice..hahaha) for me. I've watched a few cricket games on TV and I can't really understand the game even if Keith keeps on explaining it to me. Cycling can also be okay to watch only if they are major races and the British team is still in it.

    Rugby League is more a northern thing in this country, which has never really taken off in the South. Murdoch - he of the Sun paper - has tried (Maybe succeeded) into turning it into something it isn't (wasn't), and to the observer, it's like he tried to capture some of the glitz American football has. The clubs were encouraged to adopt silly animal or otherwise names, hence Bradford Northern became Bradford Bulls, Wigan became Wigan Warriors. After a brief flirtation with this sillyness, Halifax dropped the "Blue Sox" tag and became Halifax again. As they were dumped out of the Superleague, Murdoch probably didn't give a stuff.
    That's all he wanted - money raising glitz, when Rugby League was always more about real fans, walking to the match, past washing in the street, and the fans mixed in the ground - trouble was as rare as rocking horse doo-doo.

    Having said that, a friend of mine, a real fanatical RL fan tells me there's one club in the league whose fans (??!!) are trying to introduce football style violence, and who the other fans as a result hate and dread playing against. Club begins with "F"
