And Rugby League exports yet another for the NFL

[NlolRL]

What's even funnier is no AFL player has ever cracked first grade NRL. Really shows how hard it is.
While AFL has payed NRL players with millions to play their game and approached numerous others like Darren Lockyer.

Saying that AFL players are no suited to NFL. Are too gangly with no explosive strength.

anyone with half a brain knows the only RL players to play professional AFL were not chosen for their ability. However, you dont even have half a brain so I can understand why you came to the conclusion above

Yeah I am glad you pointed that out, I have a full brain unlike you who has half a brain

Well done mate.

And yes NRL players can make it in the AFL, but it is just simply not the case with AFL players having the same ability to crack NRL.

being selected for marketing purposes, and 'making' it, are poles apart. Izzy scored 3 goals for the entire year as a dedicated forward, and he was considered your most likely player to succeed

Believe Falou when he said “It was a really tough transition going from rugby league to AFL". “Then on top of this was all the running that I had to do to build up a good base of endurance so I could cover all the extra ground needed to play AFL". "I really did struggle and didn’t enjoy all the endurance running"

Cant say it more plainly than that

That is because AFL is a distant runners game where explosive sprinting ability is not required.
It would be like getting Donovan Bailey to do the 3000 metres.

Saying that, plenty of Rugby codes players have still been able to make first grade AFL.
Unfortunately this is not the case with AFL players trying to make first grade Rugby League.

a you seriously suggesting AFL players dont require explosive sprinting?

Excuses excuses, he still made top flight AFL even though he hated the game and was chasing the money.

Isaac Heeney grew up playing rugby league in Newcastle before being poached by the Swans Academy. What's your excuse with him? Another rugby league player that made it in AFL easily.
He now plays for the Swans no problem and has even been in trouble a few times for tackling too hard like they do in the NRL.

Caleb Ponga who now plays for Newcastle Knights, but was begged by AFL to play for the Brisbane Lions and join their code.

Now find me an AFL player that Rugby League has tried to poach from AFL to play in NRL???


You see there are none because AFL players don't have what it takes.

a you seriously suggesting AFL players dont require explosive sprinting?

Yes a 100%. There are no line breaks in AFL. And you can't sprint from one end of the field to the other with the ball in AFL.
Your game does not only not let players do that, it is not required in AFL
So for that reason, players don't need or have explosive speed in AFL.

he didnt make it, he was recruited for a purpose, had his chance ahead of thousands of other more capable players, but failed miserably

He now plays for the Swans no problem and has even been in trouble a few times for tackling too hard like they do in the NRL.

He joined the Swans academy at the ripe old age of 12, after also starring in soccer and cricket. You seriously think he's proof of an NRL player who made it in AFL?? FMD you're a comedy act!!!!!!!!

Caleb Ponga who now plays for Newcastle Knights, but was begged by AFL to play for the Brisbane Lions and join their code.

He played AFL with the lions academy from ages 15 to 18. He was never an NRL player, he was a kid who played multiple sports growing up including AFL, RL and golf.

Now find me an AFL player that Rugby League has tried to poach from AFL to play in NRL???

you've done that for me. Caleb Ponga played AFL from 15-18yrs and has now become a RL star apparently. Cheers

no line breaks. So you think players just remain in their positions and dont try to run past defenders?

By suggesting AFL players dont require explosive sprinting you're effectively saying that running quickly in the AFL is not required.

Are you sure you want to go with that?

[leeroy*NRL*]

seen a fair few reports on this bloke from south Sydney drafted to Philly>>

They are simply amazed by his talent>>

but it is so embarrassing> he was Under 20's player>
and those dumb yanks think it was a professional league at the highest level.|

RUGBY COMP IN AUSTRALIA !! THE N.R.L
superstar Former South Sydney Rabbitohs forward Jordan Mailata

stupid Yanks

[pussycat]

Yep, that’s right, yet another rugby league star is in the big time over in the u...s of a

Yep the nfl, the full contact sport the yanks play. And what’s that? He’s gunna be playing in a position in which he actually makes contact with opposition players?

Afl laddettes? Sit the fukk down on this one ok... just sit the fukk down





https://www.nrl.com/news/2018/03/21/for ... -nfl-shot/

Maybe this one will even play a game.

quiet a few have played, some were only good enough to kick, but only one showed form good enough to be drafted into a premiership winning team... and he has the ring to prove it.

Caleb played both codes... but preferred the more talented game, your scraping the barrel mate.

Have you found someone that played professional AFL and successfully made first grade NRL??
Nope

Have you found an AFL player that NRL has tried to poach like AFL did with Darren Lockyer and numerous others?
Nope

I rest my case.

[NlolRL]

Why the hell would someone swap from AFL to NRL?? For the money? LOL Or maybe the massive crowds they play in front of

No one has successfully swapped from NRL to AFL either

[AFLcrap1]

Yes they have .
They played at the highest possible level .
Got paid more than most other players who have played all their sporting life .
Lauded by the media & coaches .

So that falls under successful .

[King-Eliagh]

'Good aerobic skills' . 100 interchanges

Which accounts for about 3 breaks per player per game

Plus quarter time, half time and three quarter time = 6

Plus every time a goal or behind are kicked = approx 46

Plus out of bounds and ball ups = approx 86-110 total breaks for the Aussie rules aerobic athletes

Pussycat is right. We should laugh

Errrm are you suggesting no rugby league players have played a game in the nfl?



Run on..........Punt and run the fukk off the field, quick as you can!

Lemme know when an afl player plays a game in which he is positioned to make contact with opposition players. I think official stats would tell us afl players who play in the nfl make more contact giving butt taps to their fellow team mates than they do avoiding or tackling opposition players

They’re your lads right there wookie, so please, please...take my advice .... and sit the fukk down ok? Just sit the fukk down
