My first thread on the fern was "why I hate poofball".
That was enormously popular - well it got huge response anyway and went on for months. Like this one will.

That's not terribly controversial. I always tell people that apart from its sublime moments, it's a game you're better off playing. Even then to really appreciate it you need to have played.

@raznomore haha, I told my son to try noodle sandwiches the other week, he laughed, then realised I was serious...he now has them most weekends
I had a salt'n'vinegar chip sandwich for lunch yesterday
Pie sambos are also fine if its a cheap mince pie and you're just stretching it further.
Warm crusty white loaves with a beef bourg or stew is magic
Had those as a kid. Underrated
Banana and peanut butter sandwiches were also a hit. The right sweet and savoury mix

Extremely difficult to introduce someone new to the game. Have tried with many over the years with Melbournians. Most ended up following the Storm...

hence why the IRB's goal of growing the game is doomed to failure.

League is a game that's been modified to make it a better spectacle for TV. Camera follows person with the ball, no need for panning shots to show space or closeups to show people engaging in dark arts. It's a simple game to watch and understand.
Checkers to Go in comparison.
Although at the lower levels, I once had a girlfriend ask if the point of the game was to have scrums. I said that was merely a reflection of the skill level.

Lineouts were better before lifters were allowed. More beanpoles who could jump, and less 120kg locks.

bullshit! it was like bad AFL

You don't get all the rubbish rolling mauls that you get following lineouts now, as the mauls don't have time to form properly around the jumper as they do now, waiting them to be drop back to the ground

Watch tests from the 1970s. They were a mess

The numbnuts screenwriters who think it's cool to write the line "OK People, Let's Go!" in every bloody action movie.
It really isn't.
Say what? I can't even think of one action movie...
