Re: Skill Level
Thanks for that video. You just proved my point. Most of the goals are below the crossbar.

Re: Skill Level
youre blind. Most goals were on the run, not from a mark, and most were over any possible cross bar.

And so many were right infront of the goal. Like how can you miss from there.

Re: Skill Level
Yeah right. You rarely see an NRL field goal from the angles and distances seen in that video.

And they have to get it over a crossbar and they can't drop the ball. Meanwhile knock-ons are non existing in AFL.

Re: Skill Level
All the time hey? How many last year for both of them?
Yes our game doesnt penalise knock ons, but we also dont let you retain the ball when tackled

Re: Skill Level
AFL knows how good NRL kickers are. Sydney Swans own Paul Kelly even admitted Johnathon Thurston would make a great AFL player.
Greg Inglis and Darren Lockyer have both had AFL offers to switch codes.
Now if AFL did not believe in these guys abilty as kickers. They would not have given them offers.
Now tell me when has the NRL tried to pinch an AFL player for their skills?
Not once has an AFL player even made first grade NRL or has a NRL club offered an AFL player a lucrative offer to play first grade.
That seperates the level of the two sports pretty clearly. With AFL being well behind with players being of value to other codes.

I'll give you a tip, it had nothing to do with their unco kickingGreg Inglis and Darren Lockyer have both had AFL offers to switch codes.

because the NRL arent expanding into AFl markets and arent forward thinking enough to think such a move might promote the game in a new marketNow tell me when has the NRL tried to pinch an AFL player for their skills?
And other than marketing purposes no NRL player would ever be offered an AFL contract eitherNot once has an AFL player even made first grade NRL or has a NRL club offered an AFL player a lucrative offer to play first grade.
You obviously havent heard of Sav Rocca, Ben Graham or Darren BennetThat seperates the level of the two sports pretty clearly. With AFL being well behind with players being of value to other codes.

Never.

starting with AFL as a kid into my late teens before switching it to league.
AFL actually benefited me in regards to kicking.. and marking the ball which is done more in AFL
than in league..
I used it to my benefit and became a very good Full back and 5/8 in league..
overall it is hard to judge which is more skillfull
both have there skills and fitness.
interesting fact I actually thought rugby league was more tiring game.
as the amount of tackling is done takes a lot out of you..
fullbacks in league do as much running around as afl players.
I am now 30 and there is no way my body could handle a Rugby league game..
Well Leeroy I have a similar story. I grew up in the Riverina in an area where both FB and RL are roughly equal in support. I played both games up to I was 20. I can only be honest and say I never felt anything challenging or hard about FB. It was run, kick, catch, repeat, repeat, no rules, no knock on's...play on, no offside, fumble, fumble, fumble ...pick up ball ....kick .....goal....wow.....
RL on the other hand was like planning for war. It was tough, physical, strategic and very skillfull. The timing involved in the nuances of unloading to the line runner, or being the line runner, or jamming a bloke in the rib cage in defence are underestimated. It's all about the timing.

Re: Skill Level
you said "other codes". Isnt gridiron another code? And it wasnt in the 70s either. Why would RL offer an AFL player a contract.? They're different games.

And AFL is far harder than NRL anyway. K Hunt said so
