You're not serious are you... For a start you're talking about the chellenge cup which is played for in the UK. Down here UK rugby league is considered a joke and the only real rugby league that exists is the Australian NRL competition (demonsrated by the huge margin Australia beat Great Britian by last time they played). So already by even mentioning the chellenge cup you have lost all credibility.

Hmm, so confused as to the results of the last two World Club Challenge games.

And if you want to talk about watching games perhaps you should look at a rugby game played just a few days ago between New zealand and South Africa and you tell me any rugby league game that's ever been played which even comes to this game and many other rugby games been played.

I'll admit I didn't watch this, though I have watched a fair amount of RU in the last few years. Regardless, if you take any State of Origin game from the last 5 years I'd imagine it would walk all over it.

Lmao, the club champion game is treated as a completely meaningless preseason game by teams on this part of the world. The UK superleague is a retirement village for washed up former nrl players who are no longer good enough no make it in the nrl so they head to the UK for a nice pay packet to end their career. There are countless nrl players who were no longer up to playing tough rugby league but become stars again in UK rugby league. The fact that you are trying to say the club championship is justification for UK rugbly league being a reasonable standard further reduces any credibility and shows that you really do have no idea what you're talking about.
I have watched every origin game from the last 12 years or so. And yes there have been some great games played, and this is the pinacle of rugby league. However a great game of league doesn't come close to the quality of a great game of union. The fact that youre talking about origin games from the last 5 years brings your credibility down to 0 because the standard of state of origin has gone down massively in this period as players like lewis, langer, maninga, daley, fitler etc have retired.
