Just watching Union on Tele... why is it that the opposition fans are silent when the player is kicking for goal (the commentator... made a point that the silence when the kick was taken, was impecably observed??? bizarre if you ask me... just wondering why they do this??

No anti-union comments towards me please... i was just flicking through

Not a clue but........

Penalty Goal, Penalty Goal, Penalty Goal, Penalty Goal, Penalty Goal, Penalty Goal, Penalty Goal, Penalty Goal, Penalty Goal.

Thats all you need to know about Sale 15 Leicester 12 on Friday Night.

Think it's tradition. Don't know how and when it started but they have done it for as long as I can remember. Think it might be something to do with sportsmanship?

Thanks for that... still think its bizarre though... Union needs to take the away the huge benfit of kicking for goal... Rugby is a game of attack and defence.. and We think the referee has too much influence in our game... In a game were any penalty within the attacking half is given... a shot at goal results... surely this gives the referee too much influence... and makes for the bore-athon that it is..

Anyway I can't be d discussing it any further...

I bet that was an EPIC.

Probably because they're all asleep

Ben Foden looks good for Northampton, certainly would like to see him have a go at RL.

Disrespectful to speak when some toff is having a shot at goal old boy!!

A mate of mine got hushed once at a rah rah match for talking when a kick was being taken, nobbers

The Union crowd is just cardboard cutouts.

And yet players are allowed to charge down a conversion.

You are in league.

Remember when Carney did it at Salford
