A cup of tea and a mug of hot chocolate. Similar yet different, but I like them both equally. That's how I'd sum up my relationship with the two codes. It seems strange to me that, in the eyes of many, I'm commiting a crime for enjoying both rugby league and union.
Watching Rochdale thrash Barrow last season was my first real encounter with the league code. What grabbed me was the pace and unpredictability of the game. It certainly kept me on the edge of my seat. However, I had a parallel experience with rugby union during the 2007 World Cup, when my eyes never deviated from the hard-hitting action.
Friday night at the Galpharm did little to change my opinion. It was an exciting game and made me want to watch the Giants more often, whilst also making me want to go and see more live union matches as well.
