Talking Footy

With all the talk of which code has the superior skills, Buddy Franklin now on 37 goals for the season so far and tracking towards 100 goals. It got me thinking has a rugby league player EVER scored 100 tries in a season??? After all all they have to do is fall on the ground over a line that is 68 meters long - Franklin has to kick the ball usually under pressure and as the other night showed sometimes 70 meters from goal!!!! That's almost the length of a rugby league pitch, so I went looking and found that not only have NONE even achieved half that in a season with more games in a year but also the highest of all time was Kevin Irvine with 212 back in 1973 for his ENTIRE CAREER!! How incredible pitiful are these RL players at their own game that the nearest is Steve Menzies with 180 in 2008? No wonder no one bothers to turn up to a match!

Lol what a retaaaarded post .
Keep grasping at those straws .

But just to highlight your rampant stupidity

How many goals on average are scored in a fumble game .
V
How many tries on average in a RL game .

That will highlight how stupid your argument is .

Why don't you start a thread on how many tackles a player makes in a fumble game v a player in a RL game.

Lol
Plus 70 Mtrs is not the almost the length of a rugby league ground .

Jesus
You fumblers aphave really lost the plot .

& El Masri has kicked 139 goals in one season .
That would be a better comparison

Goal kicking
Buddy fuckloon v El Masri ...
Who kicked the most goals in a season .

Poor swines
Slaughtered in one post .

agree. Stupid comparison. It's like saying Ronaldo will never be a great athlete because he will never kick 100 goals in a calender year

Calling you a peanut is a slight on peanuts everywhere, so i will refrain from doing so... :_<> :_<>

No Crapper said AF players don't have equivalent skills to RL players - so the comparison is valid - if your skills are so finely tuned and exceptional then as touching a ball on a ground is relatively easy compared to kicking a ball, why aren't they able to score 100 tries in a season - or 50 or maybe 25. It makes as much sense as crappers argument! Hahaha

Lol
Keep fighting the ******** fight

It's great entertainment

the difficulty of scoring must come in to account though. He could say the same with tackling where RL players must have far higher numbers than AFL players

Why doesn't he compare kicking goals ?

The RL player has to get it OVER a crossbar as well as through
Yet the fumbler can dribble a ball along the ground & as long as it goes between the GIANT sticks ...it's a goal

Come on Swines .
Like v like
Or will that destroy this pathetic argument you put up .

Another fail thread by the fumblers

But in the spirit of your sport you get 1 point for trying & being unco & missing

the only time a goal is scored by deliberately dribbling the ball across the line is when there is no one in from of them. In these cases they could easily kick it higher over a crossbar anyway

I picked scoring a try because it's the major form of scoring - also ANYONE on a RL side can score a try but as pointed out in another thread kicking a goal in RL is a specialist position so it is like for like - second it's his criticism of AF players skills that opens RL up to this critical analysis. When AF players can achieve the objective of the sport better than RL players in theirs then they MUST have superior skill! That's the whole point of the thread!

It's not like for like you brain dead flip

Compare kicking v kicking


But that destroys your failed argument .


As was said above

Calling you a peanut is an insult to peanuts

That's right you nuphy - don't address the argument just hand out an insult! That's why this thread has got you upset!

No ,
As Xman said .
It's a stupid argument .

But keep ranting it's hilarious .
When you want to compare kicking v kicking let's chat .
Until then
You're a **** .

You guys... Both games have skill that is required and to play most games at an elite level you have to be pretty skilled. The ease in which a goal is scored is irrelevant as the other team isplaying under the same conditions. How many goals are kicked or tries scored is only valid if you compare to others in your sport.

Each here likes their sport for whatever reason. Some have it as their personal agenda to put the other sport down as if to somehow makes their sport better. Some feel the need to be the gate keeper of all that is fair and just so the otherside can not cliam an unfair advantage. Then there are those who not the fravility of all this and love to play puppet master to the zealots here by strategically stirring the pot and watching what happens , as they sit back a chuckle to themselves. Which are you ?

Dunno, but the Wizard of OZ Brian Bevan (relo just started playing AFL not long ago)
