Rugby League
League is a game like Rugby Union and all the other games that you can tackle in. This game is played by National Rugby League players and each team is competing for Provan-Summons Trophy. To play this game you need to have a plan.
The aim for this game is to have scored more than the other team. The maximum time is 80 minutes in that time you have to score as many tries. This can happen if you put the ball down in line with the goal posts. There is 13 on the field that play first and then there are 4 subs on the bench. There are out lines. When the ball goes out of the out line then they throw in the ball this can be done with two players on the bottom and one on top to win the throw. The scrums are done differently too when you knock the ball on then five players three in front and two at the back and you push when the referee says “Crouch, Touch, Set!” . The different positions do different things like a winger stays on the outside and when then the ball come to him he sprints .
The positions are : R and L wing , dummy half, fullback, left center, fifth eighth, for the backs forwards are : 2 Prop, Hooker, 2 second row, lock and loose forward.
Tyrone Phillips the center for Bulldogs is a centre and he does the clearing for wingers and he is the one that get in the attack and takes the ball off the opponent and when in defence he is kicking the ball to the wing so he can get a try.
The teams that have won the Provan-Summons Trophy are two teams and they are called: Sydney Roosters 13 times won and South Sydney Rabbitohs with 20 wins.
League is like rugby, but there are different rules and there are other differences to rugby. They have no tackle counting and passing. It is a very fun game to play if you follow the rules.
