Would anyone in nrl actually score points if they didn't have a whole paddock open to them?

Umm how can they be exactly same in difficulty when one sports has a goal scoring area 3 times the size of the other???

Is plain to anyone with even half a brain that AFL is way easier to score goals than NRL. Even if you miss in AFL you still get a point.

[Foolproof]

3 times? League = 5.5 metres. AFL = 7 metres. From a distance that's almost exactly the same target!

Talking of half a brain.......

Bullshit! A field goal in rugby league and a shot on goal in AFL are EXACTLY the same in terms of difficulty! And there's no difference in accuracy. If the NRL went with outer posts, rugby league would have less draws! The only reason it wouldn't work is because a field goal is only worth a point anyway, and even if it went back to two points like it was decades ago one point for the miss is too much of a reward. One point against six points as it is for AFL is more realistic.

I'll throw in another reason why misses occur in AFL. The dribble kick. Great if it works, but it's harder than a regular kick to carry off. There are some smart arse players who want to be a hero and make fools of themselves doing it. As we know a field goal in league has to carry over on the full.

Hi Fumblefan .
Your post is bullshit.
For the mere fact that there is no crossbar to get over in Derpball .
A FG in RL must go over .
Whereas in Derpball it can dribble along the ground .

Give up tool .

[Foolproof]

Comment based in a fallacy. The dribble has to have some force or the defence will cut it off. The only valid point you made there was about the crossbar, but then a higher percentage of AFL goals carry through at that height as well.

Face facts - the two are as difficult as each other.

[AFLcrap1]

Lol ,
So a kick that must get 3 mtrs off the ground & go over a bar is as difficult as kicking through 2 big sticks .even along the ground.
Your stupidity is on show .
You sir are a complete & utter fucktaard

[Foolproof]

No, you are showing that you haven't played either game. I have. If you tried to get the ball through the goals along the ground all the time in AFL you wouldn't score anything. To guarantee a goal in AFL you have to put height on it. Obviously you have to do the same for a field goal in league.

[AFLcrap1]

You are fucked in the head .
You are saying that they are the same .
Anyone with an IQ above a house plant will tell you if the scoring area is reduced in size then that makes it harder.

You are stupid .
That's the kindest thing I can say about you .

[Foolproof]

I am saying that they are equally difficult in execution for a result, not exactly the same in all other respects!

I suggest you try both from a distance. You can not tell the difference. If you'd played both games you would know this.

[AFLcrap1]

Lol just lol.

Yep you do have half a brain, the amount of goals scored in AFL from under a crossbar height is plenty.
And then you have two extra goals on the side =D>

Why do you think so many more points are scored in AFL matches compared to NRL???

Your arguement is dumber than dumb unfortuanately for you. I bet you think AFL goals are as hard to score as soccer goals too

[Foolproof]

No I don't. Soccer goals are the hardest goals to score in sport in my opinion. The offside rule acts as a surrogate wall.

The only games when AFL truly outscores NRL is when the defence of one team isn't on the ball. If the defence is on the ball you have to kick the ball over crossbar height. That's what the better AFL sides do to overcome those that have a defensive mentality. If the field goal in the NRL was worth more than one point it would be a common enough event almost bringing it into line with Union penalty kicks.

Like I said, if you went along the ground in the AFL all the time you wouldn't score at all or at least score nothing but points and not goals. I never said it rarely happens. I simply said that kicks with height are more common because they are higher percentage kicks. How do you overcome a solid defensive line in league? Try to break through? Low percentage move due to the five tackle limit - so you have to kick, right? The intent is different of course (breaking the line against scoring a goal) but the goal of moving the ball to the maximum effect is the same. It's the higher percentage move and in both cases it works if you have the men to back it up.
