| Quote bringbackbuck="bringbackbuck"I think you'll find Hull RUFC are very far from amateur, people regularly feign injury in union to give themselves and their teams respite; this happens in all echelons of the game right up to and including test matches. In union you need to keep moving; there's no goign to stand in backplay with your hands on your hips and watch Ewan Dowes get smashed back on a carry whilst you catch your breath!
However I don't think the correspondent above was suggesting that Pearce indulged in technical "injuredness"'"
Are you suggesting that union front rowers are fitter than their league counterparts then? |

| Quote Jake the Peg="Jake the Peg"Are you suggesting that union front rowers are fitter than their league counterparts then?'"
I would say that professional Union front row players are as fit as their league counterparts; but fitness is sport specific and therefore the type of fitness needed is different. General level of fitness I believe is now similar since Union has caught up since turning pro.
If you measure how fast a player is and how far they could run then of course the league prop would be fitter; however if you looked at bench, squat and the ability to push repeatedly at high impact I am sure the union man's stats would be superior.
I don't understand the need of many league supporters to try and do union down; if you don't like it, fine but don't be narrow minded in your approach.. I for one was brought up on both games and enjoy both (though one more than the other) but don't feel the need to bad mouth the other. |

Careful, the southern air is getting to you.
I have always played both codes and enjoy them both (much prefer League but that is a personel preference). We have no League in Guernsey so I play for the local Vets team and coach my son's team. |
