Picture says it all when it comes to fitness levels

[Xman]

I'm suggesting this picture is an illusion and tells little.

If you want to discuss things as broadly as "runnning capabilities" though I'd say yes RL players definitely have similar and at times superior "running capabilities". The RL backline would have some players who woud have similar running endurance levels to many aussie rules players. The majority of the RL backline them would be able to run a sprint equal to or quicker than many AR players. And the vast majority of RL backs would have far superior agility than the majority of AR players.

agreed E
no question our outside backs would be quicker then most AR players ...
its an exlposive power required in RL for our running



these long necked geese in AFL lope along like un-co giraffes....
as Rexonas greatest athlete has proven ... they've got nothing

I wonder who their " super star " will be for this season's show
which giggleball star is gunna be upstaged in 2012...........by every other code ... & sport in Oz .. including Diving & car racing drivers
..

Interesting that you breezed over my quote from Dr Gibbs, an ex Roosters player and sports Dr, who said a player like Inglis would run 2kms a game, compared to a player his size in the AFL who would run 14kms.

Gibbs is a flogball lacky now ... paid to say cr@p like that
AR players stroll mainly .... they couldn't run through tissue paper
RL players need to bust lines
they are sooo much more powerful then AR players its farcial theres even an attempt to compare them

& its funny how you seem to ignore my reference to rexonas greatest athlete
which singletball player is gunna get whalloped by an RL player this year ?

So the best RL player in the world beat 2 AR players who aren't in the top 50 of the AFL? put Slater up against Franklin and i think you'll find it a much closer battle.

oh they're now not in the top 50 after .... after.... they get their nads presented to them in a bucket
wouldn't matter who you lot put up

your code has been exposed as a game for slow ... bumbling bafoons
I mean I've alwayd known it
bet it was a surprise to you though ....

All the picture proves is that Rugby League is more international then Aussie Rules.

[NSWAFL]

It does no such thing, cooee! Explain that!

[cooee]

I see a professional English Rugby League side.

One thing Aussie Rules doesn't have. Anywhere in the world (outside Victardia).

[ParraEelsNRL]

LOL.

[NSWAFL]

They are both professional. Next excuse?

[ParraEelsNRL]

One is from Australia and is lonely in the world, the other has many friends all over the place.

[NSWAFL]

AFL has more friends world wide that rugby league, because we earn the friendship and maintain it. Rugby league doesn't give a stuff.

Doesn't need to be.

[Raiderdave]

Doesn't need to be.

yeah .. but it is for us
reflecting our codes internationalism

& your codes
lack there of ..............

[NSWAFL]

Wrong. It doesn't matter if it's pro, semi-pro or amateur. Internationalism fits all. Including AFL.
