this is a tough one for me. the rules of league seem to lend i to (more or less) one pass runs until the last tackle then kick it, but do require a bit of ingenuity when it comes to the business end of breaking down defenses to score trys. Whereas union is more of a blaNck canvass where anything could happen at anytime (although, imo most of the time its boring as sh.it
so as I see it:
league: lots of moments of small creativity
union (at its highest level): potential for few moments of brilliance
as I am more or less brand new to both codes, hell I am still new to association football I could have got this totally wrong. Either way will be interesting the results.
p.s. I also think that all the penalty kicking takes away from union and makes it more boring. It seems sometimes that teams just try and earn the kick and 3 point teams to death.
