Real courage

[piesman2011]

Jealousy's a real curse swines, sorry for ya mate. Just get out there and do something with yer life and you'll feel better.

Pies yes now you are describing courage more accurately than in the vids you chose. For him to come back and play was somewhat courageous.

If you knew what it was like to be in a rl defensive line you'd know it takes courage each and every time you gotta meet your opponent and put him down. Then you got fullbacks who throw their body in front of 110kg athletes who break the line and try to run over the top of you and take the high ball under serious physical pressure. I'm sorry folks but rl is the more courageous game. Browny? Just bad luck a lack of onfield vision and a smidgen of courage compared to your avg nrl player. Sorry guys but it's true

Let's face reality KE. RL has become quite soft over the last few years. What you can't shoulder charge any more in your soft sport? We all saw origin 2 and the weak attempts to cause pain to the more skilful players by dropping elbows into them, when they had no chance to fight back. So what if a big guy puts his boot in your face as he runs over the top of you, that is nothing compared to what I have shown you so far. I'm still waiting for something in RL that takes some sort of real guts. Sure RL players are heavy and tackle hard but thats about the extent of it. Keep telling yourself otherwise because you need to believe. Oh and show me something this century, I found i quite amusing hat you came up with something from the 1970's yet I could show you a similar incident from last weeks game. Chin up mate.
Oh and as for your highballs. :_<> You've lucky to get one to two players jumping for it for fear of a knock on. In AR we get real athletes who can jump, running at full pace and putting their knees into the back of your head. You have no clue from what direction they are coming from or whether you are competing against no one or more then half a dozen.

Pies pies pies. Settle down my petal. You cant seriously believe marngrook is a more physically intimidating and tough code than RL can you?

Having played both i know the answer and it aint marngrook. Marngrook takes some toughness and a lil courage but the simple fact all players are going for the ball 90% of the time means it requires nowhere near as much courage as standing in a RL defensive line against some of the strongest fittest fastest and most powerful blokes in the country trying to run through you. As for your players jumping from all angles and you have no clue where they're coming from? Well thats kinda bullshit. Almost all of the time you have an awareness, or you should, of where people are situated and whos contesting. Its just spatial awareness and looking around before the kick. All players do it.

Sorry pies but browny went into contests where all players were going for the ball. This requires a lil courage, not much though. It takes more courage to face up against players who are stronger, faster, more powerful and physically bigger who are running not with the intention to mark a ball but with the intention to run over the top of you.

I'm sorry you seem to think playing on with a broken jaw is not corageous as opposed to browny who, when knocked in the head has always left the pitch. But if you want another video showing more courage than the AFL lads here you go. It's from 2013. Although only a short vid there's atleast 3 examples where the players show real commitment and courage to bring another down who is aggressively trying to run over the top of them, rather than going into a contest where the other players are going for the ball, not the person.

Enjoy :D

Like I said earlier, running around with something broke happens every second week in the AFL. Im not saying it does take some guts, but it is so commonplace. Show me something rare which shows real commitment to the ball. Let's face it RL rarely has contests where the ball is in dispute, like you tried to point out earlier the high ball is about it and is therefore about the high point where some guts can be shown and also a high point in terms of what crowds like. At its best it is like guys flying for an AR pack mark and is a good contest. To bad only one or two guys are ever really willing to fly for it. The rest of RL is mostly about running into or trying to run around some blokes trying to latch on to you or trying to tackle some block with three of your team mates assisting.
Nice vid, finally something from this century. Is it just me or are they more skilful then your NRL guys?

[King-Eliagh]

Haha ohh pies me boy. Only two people flying for it? Ummm dunno if you know much about the game ur backing but more than two in a marngrook marking contest means atleast one team is going in and spoiling a teammate. Best practice is to not go in and crumb the ball if others have a better shot at it this is something browny didn't quite get.

As for jumping for a contested mark versus bringing down a rampaging rl forward for courage? It's a no brainer pies, an absolute no brainer

Here's another vid of players showing more courage than browny. Each and every one who puts themselves in front of this 6ft4 118kg wrecking ball shows massive amounts more courage than browny who goes up against people who are in the air (I.e less powerful) smaller, weaker and not even aggressively attacking an opponent (I.e less intimidation therefore less courage required.)

[video]http://youtu.be/prWi5qgCSMQ[/video]

And every player in the nrl puts em selves in front of blokes like T. Rex Williams week in week out

Sorry piesman, you're copping a shalacking here :D

[AFLcrap1]

Ke I had the same discussion with another fumblederp.

THEY kept telling me going for a mark is brave ,its like jumping into a river that could have Crocs in it,Because there is the chance you could get smashed.
My reply was , which is braver jumping into a river that COULD have crocs in it,or jumping in a river you KNOW has crocs in it,because RL players know when they charge at the defensive line they are going to get smashed.

Big BIG difference between could happen & certain to happen.

Haha .....oh no Im going to get pushed down by the big man what will I ever do....... Come on KE I expected some sort of contest here, but it's like you are tickling me with a feather and claiming you just stomped me into the ground. I'm done with you mate and you went down without a whimper.

The difference is that RL supporters are thinking they are going into a river of crocs, however the reality is there's no danger because someone took the crocs out long ago. Not shoulder charges, no seriously dangerous situations you can put yourself in. The best you have is that some big guy can tackle you hard into the ground and you end up concussed or at worst you break something. Not nice but it's hardly life threatening. Even the tackling has gotten weak, you aren't allowed to pick up I guy and slam him hard into the ground anymore. Your idea of getting smashed and mine are quite different.




Now this is getting smashed. The NRL hasn't got an answer to this sort of smashing.

[King-Eliagh]

Pies seriously you're starting to take this into the realm of ridiculous. I mean putting up images of ol metal face before the op to try and make a point like it happens often? are you still on the beers? Anyway I'll lower myself to your standard just this once. Would you be more frightened to get an injury which gives you a two-3 hour facial surgery and a 6odd month almost full recovery or spinal injury with the opportunity to walk again uncertain and a minimum recovery of several years?

The standard has certainly dropped. I think it's an appropriate time you acknowledge the courage and bravery of all rl players pies me boy.

[piesman2011]

More ignorance KE. Why are you still in this thread? At least you have a fighting spirit.

Are you trying to say AR doesn't have spinal injuries. Because again when you are jumping 6 foot up, colliding mid air with someone and coming down on your head or neck the chances are high that you could end up a para or quadriplegic. Just ask former AFL Geelong player Casey Tutungi.

[King-Eliagh]

Ignorance? Explain urself. It's easy to just yell and hoot like a drunken sailor but you haven't explained why

My bet is ur struggling because you sir, yes you sir made the claim rl takes nowhere near as much courage and I'm belting you square in the nuts, yes square in the nuts with sound solid arguments as to why rl takes more courage.

It's just the pure fact that rl has stronger faster more powerful athletes coming at you, often not aiming for some ball but rather your body. The ol saying "putting your body on the line" applies every now and then, fairly rarely really in marngrook. It happens every single time you run the ball and make a tackle or mark in rl :D

Trust me folks, I've played both

Yeah I suppose if he pissed in his own mouth that would be an act of NRL courage - after all he most probably finished having sex with his dog!!!! Hahaha!

[King-Eliagh]

That's right dave, it's just not right what these blokes have attributed and not attributed courage to. Completely off the mark they are but what's new eh.

Sorry FIGJAM - we know you were playing with a fractured femur when you scored the winning try in the Superleague grand final after returning from space! FFS you can't even show respect I'm afraid FIGJAM you have no redeeming qualities!!!
