Ha! I played my Snooker soft and slow, my Pool hard and fast. Never got to play Billy.
I played so many sports, even Netball, I was the immaculate all-rounder utility. Made State in Union. Won a B-grade Basketball title. Won a School zone Hockey title and at Indoor Cricket, Squash and a few more awards in League, Aussie Rules and 100m Sprinting.
All in all, I played for 'fun & social'. Coaches loved me and hated me, as too teammates. I was good, but I didn't care about winning. To me, Sport was just about keeping fit. Nothing else. At the most, I provided some flukey unorthodox moments for entertainment and to humiliate the opposition. Hell, I even jumped in the ring at Geales gym against the Liberty Valance (ex-pro 35 fights) with the Australian UFC champ at the time softening me up for a few rounds before that. Lost both, but loved the honour of challenging them.

Sport was fun and fitness. Nothing more.

But Rugby Union has proven to be the superior code in regards to male development, character, personal success in life after sport and relationships.
League & Rules seem to bring out the worst. With players often involved with drug & alcohol issues, domestic violence, gambling and other unlawful afflictions.
Rugby Union culture is a more positive influence like high academia and technical careers, rather than doing adverts like Lowes. Roll Eyes
