Engage Super League arrives in Norway - rlglobalnews's posterous

The greatest sport in the world will now be beamed to your shores and what a way to start it with Wigan v St Helens, the first and original derby of any sport in the world

"St. Helens Rugby League Club's chairman, Eamonn McManus ahead of the 2010 Super League Grand Final. He reveals that “Lord Derby, whose family have had a long and supportive association with the Club, came to the last Saints’ league game at Knowsley Road, and told me that his family formally lent their name to two sporting events only - the horse race and the original St. Helens v Wigan game. I think that puts pay to which is the biggest derby in sport, as this is the original and only derby."

Enjoy!

Oh gods...hope our norwegian brothers ready some axes and stop the invasion right then and there.

No wait, wait!

Thinking of that other sport, rugby is cool.

Isn't that the one that they need cheerleaders to make it interesting?

No that's the one i was originally thinking of, cricket.

Then again you need to add food, booze, topless bar and another sport on TV to make it interesting :p

Ever wonder where the sound of crickets came to be known as a sound for awkward silences and boredom? Yeeeah.

This is a problem how? :D

YouTube - St Helens Rugby League Club

More skill in this 4 min video of St Helens than you will see in a rugby union season. Check the try that starts at 1:09 and check the passage of play that starts at 2:05. Sensational. The fat boys in yawnion can only dream of it. And please dont point to Ashtons "wonder try" for england. You see that on council pitches every sunday :D Super 15 is alright though.

I have to say, on the back of watching that video clip, what an exciting game.

If only you could edit each game like they do on MOTD but i am guessing the programme would last about 8 minutes, going by matches that i ahve endured watching.

I prefer rugby union. Six nation is on today, you should watch that instead.

Treat yourself.

It is. Far more exciting that football which in turn, is light years ahead in excitement than rugby union. Always something happening for the full 80 minutes
