NRL Players Can't Kick or Catch a Football

[Topper]

A gridiron ball is different too, more different in fact, yet, Aussie rules players are considered the best kickers in that sport, you're a ******.

Intentcity, a rugby ball and an AFL ball are very similar. They are both leather balls. American footballs are pigskin. But they are generally the same shape which makes the kicking skills movable between the codes.

E ... tipsy makes intestines look like a Rhodes Scholar

That he does Raider, that he does indeed. Ol' Topper me boy has really gone downhill since his epic self confessed 'typo' of "Rugby League is the biggest code in the world...to suggest that AFL is bigger than Rugby League would be highly contentious". We must never forget this epic quote as it speaks volumes about what Topper may be, and among other things, also perhaps the depth of awareness AFL posters have of the dribble they post...

I actually sometimes think Topper me boy is a guerilla League supporter in perfect disguise making a mockery of AFL supporters by acting as one of their own and posting dumb post after dumb post, after dumb post and so on and so forth.

Whatever he is, Ol' Tipsy is a gem and whether he knows it or not, on the Leaguies side in these forums :D

The Sherrin and Burley ball are similar to the rugby ball.
The Australian football is the only football specifically designed for kicking over long distances and kick passing.
The rugby ball is a little fatter to aid with it's "handling" (throwing/catching). It still kicks well from a set kick.
The rl ball is synthetic and dimpled to further aid it's "handling". The rl ball tends to float even more when kicked.
The American football is significantly diffent. The American ball is specically designed for throwing. All the one's I've seen are synthetic and dimpled. The ball is small and pointy to fit into the quarterback's hand . It is very difficult to kick wrt accuracy of execution. It is meant to hang in the air as long as possible or low as in a placekick. Most Australian Footballers can kick as good as American kickers in a one off, but it's only the most consistant kickers that meet the high requirements of the NFL.
Whilst you can say most rugby types can kick and catch they certainly cannot kick or catch to requirements of Australian Football. The Irish (from the GAA) have never challenged the Australians with an oval ball. The Australians can kick the round ball easily but without the practiced accuracy that is required to kick a round ball over distance.

A drop punt has a similar action to a Gridiron punt did i hear you say? oops, did i see you write, the hole keeps getting deeper, keep digging ******, you'll hit magma soon.

Explain the massive difference in action between a drop punt and a gridiron punt and then tell me who's digging dumb boy

Cos lettuce, welcome :D

Thanks for all this information but you're a little out of focus here. All balls are different, this is the minor argument I made and thanks for highlighting this with the above. The kicking skills between Rugby League and AFL are VERY different. Why cant you bimbos understand this? I mean ol dumbo intentcity I can understand with his dumb post/picture and the one word he managed to squeeze out ("imbelices") which he put up earlier. And Topper, well we know he's just in here to make AFL supporters look bad. But why no other AFL supporters can understand this fact is baffling...?

Well obviously you are the "dumb boy".
We'll give you the chance to run away and do some research and retract your arrogrant mis statement.
Until then you're just digging your hole deeper.

I don't know what the argument is about. Just know the balls are different

Yes they are, I agree. AFL players are highly skilled at kicking and rl players are not.
Why, who's disputing this ?

[King-Eliagh]

Sorry my quote function isn't working.

Explain the difference in action between a drop punt and a gridiron punt? KE, believe me when i say you're the dumbest RL troll i've ever come across, and i've come across a lot, are you really an AFL fan trying to make RL posters look stupid?

Please intentcity dont flatter me. I've had posters use my words many times before. Comon you can think of your own eh? Though I have proven you to be 'dumb' so if you cant keep using mine, that's just fine.

Now I notice you have conveniently left out one of my words in a feeble attempt to make yourself sound a little smarter. Words arent your specialty I know 'dumb' boy but I asked you to explain the massive difference in kicking action between the two codes, and I specifically referred to the drop punt in AFL and the punt in gridiron.

Don't leave out important words anymore intentcity, it makes you look stupid. There you are, your very first "massive" lesson from me. :D I hope you take it on board intentcity my pupil, you'll be a better man for it And remember you aren't deaf and blind so you're every bit as able as Topper and AFL 'Warrior' on these boards.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh. You've broken my cover.
can you delete you post toute suite before anyone notices.

Good points cos. I agree. However you miss the point still. Most rl players are not highly skilled at kicking but several are. The halfback, among others, is generally an important kicker and highly skilled.

Almost all AFL players are highly skilled at the drop punt but tell me, can they kick an effective grubber or a spiral bomb or land the ball from a long down field kick on a point to make it bounce in a certain direction? RL kickers require more creativity and a much larger reportoir of kicking skills than your average drop punt kicking AFL player.

You get the argument now cos?

[King-Eliagh]

LOLLOL so its apostrophes now. Comon thats a being a bit particular and pedantic now aint it?

Still havent heard your explanation of the massive difference in kicking action.

I looked it up on youtube, the action of the punt and drop punt are very similar indeed, aren't they Just a widdle difference in hand position and where the ball hits the boot. Apart from the the action is identical

[Topper]

Every fart machine and burp machine on the planet. We know that there are only two kicks in RL, and one of them is off the ground for the conversion. In AFL however there are many different styles of kicking that need to be perfected. No NRL player could have such a variety.

The drop punt is used for 95% of kicks in every game. Get your dvd out and count 'em Topper me boy

Then watch a RL game and you'll see grubbers, bombs, banana's, torps, drop punts and more all used fairly evenly. Now that's variety Topper me boy!
