Appears Africans will follow in the footsteps of Polynesians in becoming a big part of Rugby League.

Obed Karwin, who resembles your average NFL player.
And likely to be the first African born player to make it into the NRL.

An Africa United Rugby League team has also been formed in Western Sydney.

Yeah they will bring a whole new culture to the game just like the Polynesians have.

I am surprised AFL has'nt tried to poach him.

Afl should be putting more work into multicultural communities in western Sydney, imo they're failing miserably in that area. I mean you they through money at Israel folou in a despo and tokenistic attempt to gain fans from sydneys multicultural community. Israel and karmichael hunt just shrugged their shoulders, took the money and showed that, given a few months training NRL players can compete at the highest level of afl...such is their supreme athleticism and skill base.

Then the afl employed Kevin speedy as head coach. Upon getting a crowd of 5k sheesh complained that the west Sydney wabderers had the advantage of Australia's immigration dept recruiting for them. Ahh hello, kelvin? Aside from dissing australias entire population of immigrants and the market the afl put gws in place to attract your ancestors were fresh off the fukkin boat not too far back ya stoopid clown.

This just two examples of the afls pathetic work in this field. In the mean time we have afl officials trying to spruik aflx to china!! :rofl:

Haha Yeah GWS and Kevin Sheedy became the most hated lot in Western Sydney when he said that.

Always has and always will be a sport that appeals to the Sothern state gangly thin white guys.

Because it is not a universal game that other cultures can relate to.

By all means IYO tell us what the AFL are actually doing in W Syd. Since you seem too know the inner workings of the AFL you should be able to tell us how much money time personnel and strategic planning they have committed and how much they should commit. Now how about you answer one simple question how many African Australians in the NRL as opposed to the AFL?? There are currently 5 AFL players born in Africa. I dont think you have a clue but what else is new.

Lol
Now I'm just guessing
But I'd bet some of those have not even played 5 games in the last few years .


My money would be on clubs being told to have someone from overseas on the playing roster to show how multicultural they are .
You only have to give them a few games ..for Propaganda purposes then never have to play them again .
It's All in the name of the image .

I will check later .

Why are you arguing semantics happy to stand corrected and say 4 (I didnt check individual lists. But being on an AFL list is BEING an AFL player). Now just show how many African born NRL players there are!.
