Because you are overseas you can watch every game live for free here: http://new.livestream.com/nrl, they have all the past games from the season as well so if you dont wanna get up early you can just watch them later.So I got up at 430am to watch State of Origin, now on to my first Bulldogs game.

Welcome to the kennel mate.Cheers, thanks for the all the welcomes. I think league is more skilled, the NFL is based on knowing plays A LOT of plays just for one game and one team, with league you can mix and match and play what comes your way. I guess I won't be playing league because I am circumcised hehe.
I found that odd coming over here. In the UK, the word "Rugby" is used for both codes, League and Union. If you say Rugby in the south of England, then 95% of the time, people will assume Rugby Union. If you're in Yorkshire/Lancashire/Cheshire, then 90% of the time, people will assume Rugby League. It took me a few weeks of living here and confusing people by referring to the NRL as Rugby before I got with the program. When my dad (who I used to go to games with as a kid) came over, he found it odd how I always called the game Rugby League and not simply Rugby now.ps. Rugby is usually referred to as rugby union over here we call NRL (league)

If you noticed early interviews with James Graham from 2012 or so, he'd often refer to himself as a "Rugby player" or sometimes "Rugby erm... Rugby league player". Sam Tomkins was the same in interviews this year.
Bloody Aussies confusing things, eh?
