Rugby League Quotes

Adrian Hadley, former Welsh International (1988)"League is much, much more physical than Union, and that's before anyone starts breaking the rules."
Anon"To play Rugby League you need three things; a good pass, a good tackle and a good excuse."
Anon"Rugby League is war without the frills."
Colin Welland, actor and screenwriter (1979)"In South West Lancashire babes don't toddle, they side-step. Queuing women talk of 'nipping round the blind-side'. Rugby League provides our cultural adrenaline. It's a physical manifestation of our rules of life, comradeship, honest endeavour and a staunch, often ponderous allegiance to fair play."
Graham Lowe, former Kiwi coach (1995)"I'm 49, I've had a brain haemorrhage and a triple bypass and I could still go out and play a reasonable game of Rugby Union. But I wouldn't last 30 seconds in Rugby League."
John Singleton, Australian (1981)"Anyone who doesn't watch rugby league is not a real person. He's a cow's hoof, an ethnic or comes from Melbourne."
Jonathan Davis, on A Question of Sport (1995)On his change of code to Rugby Union - "It's the first time I've been cold for seven years. I was never cold playing Rugby League."

Peter Jones, at John Hopoate's NRL Judiciary hearing (2001)"It wasn't a wedgie. That's when your pants are pulled up your arse. I think I know the difference between a wedgie and someone sticking their finger up my bum."

Mark "Chopper" Read"Apart from Irish whiskey, good cigars, Pontiac motor cars and a pistol grip baby .410 shotgun with solid load shells, what I love most is kidnapping smartarse gangsters and taking their money. To the human filth I have bashed, belted, iron barred, axed, shot, stabbed, knee capped, set on fire and driven to their graves, I can only quote from the motto of the French Foreign Legion, Je Ne Regrette Rien ... I REGRET NOTHING."
Some Dublin taxi driver (2001)On learning of Carver's extravagant first night on tour - "Eighty fucking pounds!! How can you spend eighty fucking pounds on a lap dance? You could've bought a bog-roll for 50p and had a wank."
