[QUOTE="melon, post: 229419"] Ok Dan, heres the thing. I think you think the NRL is "dull and monotonous" because of the mere fact we are better defenders...and also because we stuff around at the ruck slowing the ball down. I completely understand this because not only have I witnessed it, there are many players who originally started in the NRL and now play in the ESL who share the same idea because of the the same reason(s). Overall the NRL has a greater emphasis on defence, with the same emphasis on attack (although we may do the attack part a bit better but that fact seems to be overlooked because the defence does kind of negate that, but thats alright with me...just as long as people see this) Who can blame us though?! Our players train 5 days per week, most of the time between 6 and 8 hours per day. That leaves more time for defence and wrestling work for the ruck. Players up there in the ESL finish just after lunch. That leaves less time for skills such as defence which seems to make the games more "dull and monotonous". I'm not saying the Super League competition is rubbish, I actually enjoy watching it, however I enjoying watching the NRL more because I like to be able to appreciate the fact that I know they are superior players. They are a more complete package than their northern hemisphere counterparts. Not only are they professional attackers, they are also professional defenders. [/QUOTE]
