get AFL players to play NRL OR UNION and see how they go..

its common sense and easy to understand to play 1 game and switch to another..

its the League fans always comparing to to codes and skill levels. both different games and requiring different body types.! but nothing speaks unco are dropping the ball from s short pass from a bloke next to you a 30 meter kick down field with no opponent near like in league. then compare the to balls, ones smaller and leather and other is larger and rubber

ive watched plenty of both codes.
and you see easy drops in both codes.
this is pressure from defence
player looking forward to the side and not collecting the ball perfectly
knowing they are about to be WHACKED by a tackle.
looking ahead for the next play, its not just about the drop
its what you are thinking to do with that pass once you get it
loss of concentration

NRL games Hit harder in tackles (so take that in to account)
remember you can mark the ball and still be whacked in League its fair game.

I get both games. i played both games.
they both are intense and need great skills.

Well said Leroy - anyone saying that players playing at an elite level aren’t talented, gifted, skilled etc. are either morons, trolling,or possibly both.

Yes- both games are different which should be obvious - however people complaining about different things that happen in one code compared to their preferred code continues to happen. AFL and nrl are simply two completely different games. I think the half nail maybe be from when rl and ru squared off as to which was the superior game and that had carried over to the AFL from nrl folk maybe - I should say on this forum as, in public, if you’re under 50 no one really cares - in my circles I’m qld anyway where AFL has a presence. I only have one older lady at work who will go on about GayFL , that game is rubbish etc etc when I mention I’m going to the footy in meetings lol. No one else cares - many attend AFL games but live their nrl side and rl.

Anyone who thinks Luke Hodge and Cameron Ling were the best atheletes in the AFL at the time is a clown.

firstly the balls are same shape, but totally different, the smaller one is leather and league ball is bigger, lighter and made of rubber.
the player receives the ball from a short pass with the opponent knowingly in front of them and receives the ball unopposed. the true skill of a league player is when the opposition kicks the ball down the ground and player goes to catch it unopposed from a 30 or 40 meter kick and mostly fumbles it!

the tasking is done from head on and is half the game and have plenty of time to prepare for it

Are you talking about Israel Folau Wacko???? Here's what his GWS coach said about him, "Izzy Folau was one of the best talents I've ever seen run out on a footy field." And that was after he left fumbling pal.

He also said this, "Kevin Sheedy has made the extraordinary suggestion that the Giants should consider bringing Israel Folau back to AFL." And wait there's more. Take it away Kev, ""Give the ball to Izzy Folau coming out of defence and people will go 'wow', Izzy Folau will cut a swathe through them. He'll be like Michael Jackson coming out of the back line."

So who do I believe. It's an incredibly hard decision. The greatest coach in AFL history? Or some Wackjob from Wackoville? I dunno, I think I'll go with Kev lolololololol!!!!!!!!

got no come back after derailing the thread like you do every time, so its off to squeal to the mods!

now back on topic it was Israel Folau who was recruited by GWS, he played for over 100 games for the Storm, Broncos and Dragons, he played for the All Stars, SOO Queensland and the country Australia all in the code of Rugby league. he also played union at the top level he played for the NSW Waratahs and represented Australia in 73 tests and represented Tonga!

he played top level league and union and represented Australia and Tonga at the highest level of both codes so he was a talented athlete and skilled by rugby league and union standard! yes for GWS and AFL he struggled and couldn't compete agains those unco, string armed skinny kids you call them Azif!

might of been a sales pitch from Sheedy!

Folaus time in the AFL only showed the difference between the rugby codes and AFL, play league and union at top levels and cant compete against some noodle arm kids
