[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 770367, member: 12207"] Well yeah, because in order to make the game easier to officiate it's simpler to assign possession. What it means is that whilst Union is about the contest for possession, League is about the contest for position and thus the kicking game is actually very important, just in a different way. Always wondered why League never took off outside the north in England, but I hear the RFU were pretty nasty and petty in terms of denying them a presence and facilities in a lot of places. [/QUOTE]
