Greek Rugby League

Description

Rugby league is a relatively simple game. Combining the strategy of Grandmaster chess, the high-speed decision making of formula 1 and the physical challenge of bear wrestling! Yes, this is truly a game for the strong, courageous, and intelligent. As a fan you may sit back and appreciate fully the spectacle that takes place in front of you. To assist your enjoyment it is helpful if you can understand what is happening on the pitch. Now in Featherstone it is not difficult to gain a little of this knowledge. Simply walk into any pub, stand at the bar and state to the bar staff that you have been living in a cupboard for the major part of your life and now want to understand the finer points of the best game on Gods earth. Immediately you will be surrounded by up to a dozen well meaning individuals who will baffle you with science as they move ashtrays, pint pots, crisp packets across the bar top saying, "imagine this is the centre", "acting half back passes to prop with second row running blind" or "this packet of Cheese and Onion would be obviously offside." Clearly gibberish, but sink enough beer as you listen and some of it may make sense. An alternative path, for the more studious or fainthearted, would be to read the following notes on our great sport.

At "kick off” two teams, 13 players on each, take to the field. Each team may also have 4 substitutes/replacements available to bring on at any appropriate moment in the game. Commonly this is when a teammate is injured or in need of a rest. Each teams starting "13" is made up of 7 "backs" (numbers 1 to 7) and 6 "forwards" (numbers 8 to 13). The backs are generally regarded as the attacking players and usually have more pace than the bigger more powerful forwards who are usually the "yard" makers. It is also usual for the two sets of players to bicker. A Back views forwards as someone big and ugly who enjoys running head first into immovable objects. Forwards see backs on the other hand as posing tarts that drop the ball whenever the forwards have done the hard graft of setting up a good field position.

The object of the game is fairly straightforward. Each team attempts to score more points than the other team. There are 80 minutes in which to do this. Either team can score points through scoring a "try" or kicking a "goal".
