Watching Canterbury Bulldogs v New Zealand Warriors.
Play stopped because one of the players has blood coming from his ear.
On close up , the guys ear is split open from the top edge down by about 3cm.
Needs stitched..... ....but not yet.
The trainer wraps his ear to the side of his head with gaffer tape , and away he goes!
A stray hand to the chest has a footballer rolling around in mortal agony!
As one rugby league player said; 'the difference between us and soccer players is, we spend 80 minutes trying hard to not look hurt. Soccer players spend 90 minutes trying to look hurt'.

It's annoying how football players squeal loudly and go down clutching whatever part of their anatomy has been lightly tapped by an opposition player. Rolling around in agony until they've been ignored for long enough, then they're back up and running with the faux injury forgotten about.

And more often than not, not whatever part of their anatomy that HAS been lightly tapped.

The ones that make me laugh are the player whose hair gets touched by an opposition player’s hand etc and, after getting play stopped for a “head knock” spends the next few minutes rubbing his head and looking at his hand for blood. Cheats.

Luckily they seldom see blood.
A transfusion at pitchside would be called for!
 
A couple of wee skirmishes but naebody hitting the floor clutching at their faces. Wisnae bothered who won although my niece stays in Leigh.
If those guys stay down ....they are hurt!
A simple cut on the napper doesn't bother them.

Rugby is a man's game...football is more about deceiving the referee to gain unfair advantages.

If a player goes down in Rugby...You can guarantee he is injured.

Love watching a game of Rugby League.
