Can you show where NRL players use steroids .

As I said
The excuses will be hilarious .
I was right

Only a select few RL players in the NRL could ever make an AFL list. Most have no endurance. Ten dollar Tuesdays is more what they are suited to.. K Hunt showed he could learn the skills, but his body couldn't handle the running. Falou was too lazy and not smart enough.

Pacific Island blokes like Sean Johnson may do alright as he has a better body type for AFL. All the big boppers would be gassed before the 1st quarter ended. Locky would have been a goodun.

Ive no doubt there are many AFL players that could play NRL. But you have to remember AFL is multi skilled and NRL has only a couple of basics; Catch n pass, and tackle. AFL players must be middle distance athletes, un erring kickers of the ball some both feet. Great hands above and below their feet, and make excellent decisions in traffic. They must also be brave as big hits off the ball can come from any angle, legally within 5m of the ball. All top line AFL and NRL players are tough. Get over it.

Your assertion that AFL players cant make it NRL but NRL players can in AFL is flawed. K Hunt is the only argument you have. And the jury is out weather he "made it" or not. He was recruited to get interest in an NRL state for the newly formed GCS. He was given games just for that purpose. There were 50 better AFL players running around in QLD reserves and AFLQ comps better than Hunt. Any version of Hunt..

Now, I'm not encyclopedia of AFL players as I'm a RL bloke who has followed AFL the past 5 years as well. Bobby Fulton was my hero. Not Dermott Brereton. But in my opinion (and that is all you and I have) from the players I know or can think of, just in the GCS, Lynch, May, and the recently departed O'meara, would make an NRL list (40 players?). Fyfe and Dangerfield come to mind, and the recently retired Barry Hall.

Consider Victoria beats NSW at most sports, if Victoria was also a RL dominant state, then they would hand NSW their ass like QLD does. That means there are origin level RL players in Victoria who play AFL and have never played RL. Many of these blokes probably play AFL at the top level. Considering Wayne Pearce (Mitchell's dad) only began playing RL at 16yo, and went on to captain the Kangaroos and become a legend, ive no doubt some AFL players could become quite good at NRL if they ever crossed codes.

How would it look for RL is an AFL player like Dangerfield crossed codes and ended up playing Origin or for Australia? Who benefits? haha! So do you think RL will try and poach an AFL player? Not a chance! That's your reason why AFL players aren't asked to cross codes. Good press for AFL.


.

Iol your kidding yourself bro.

How is kicking through goals with no crossbar skilled??

How is getting a point when you miss a goal skilled?

How is dropping the ball constantly skilled?

As for poaching players, why on earth would rugby league look towards a sport like AFL where the average player is built like a beanstalk, lacks explosive strength and only weighs about 85 kilos???

HaHa your hilarious man =D> =D>
Grid Iron and Union players are way more suited than AFL.

AFL can't even field a competitive overseas team to play Australia the support is so terrible internationally.


While Rugby League has around 250,000 registered players in the the UK alone.
As well as a whole other professional league to choose players from.

Then Fiji, Samoa, New Zealand, PNG to name a few. All have plenty of rising talent too.

How come leagues finest struggled playing AFL? Thickshit!

You sound like a parrot just rant your usual lines, over and over and keep ignoring the actual facts

The facts are NRL does'nt need a shit skilled sport like AFL to get players from lol..
