Another Site Nuked!

now thats cool, seems to be a really good nuke too... i've seen some not so clean ones in the past...

I don't know if this is the right environment, but I didn't see a general discussion type topic in the forums, but I have a question about Rugby League. My only glimpse into the world of Rugby from here in the U.S. is at the mercy of Fox Sports World, which is now Fox Soccer Channel. I have been watching primarily Rugby Union (Super 12, NPC, Currie Cup, Tri-Nations), and am addicted to Rugby Union.

I have tried to watch Rugby League. I don't get it. There seems to be absolutely nothing to the game. Roll ball back, run forward, get tackled, repeat 6 times or until you score. Union, to me, is fluid and very tactical. League is not.

What am I missing? There must be more to it. I eventually came to really enjoy Aussie Rules after I realized that it wasn't just run a bit, kick a bit, and clothesline the guy jumping for the ball. Maybe I'll like League if I understand what's happening.

Anyway, that is my comment (question?) though not exactly related to the NRL Nuking. Sorry about the semi-off topicness of the reply...

Hi Scott,
You're right about the NRL site. I helped CFour nuke it in December. Check out the stats man. They are currently serving 17 million pages a month with peak loads in the vicinity of 300,000 an hour with about 20000 concurrent users at game time!!
The guys the The Farm Creative did the design work and there are plans to nuke the team sites in teh future.
