A 'REAL' Man's Game!! I Love This Time Of Year!!

Between the end of September and beginning of March, I tend to start going a little stir crazy. The withdrawal symptoms kick-in. Why can't the Aussie Rules and Rugby League footy seasons run for 12 months of the year?

Anyway - it's starting again (thank God for the Australian network on Ch170)... and the 2009 NRL rugby league promotional video is just sensational. Remember, this is a 'real' man's game - not like soccer, where the players lie down crying at the first sign of physical contact... nor is it like American football, where the players protect themselves with body armour and helmets. This is real contact sport for true warriors, where only the tough survive!!
