But, from my experience playing and viewing AFL in Europe I can tell everyone that the level of rugby league in russia is far higher than the level of any AFL played in Europe. Pretty much for sure.

Basic skill level, is that when you can drop the ball as much as you like and get a point when you miss a shot at goal?Nrlolol wrote: Sat May 04, 2019 2:47 pmGoing by the people in the stands & fatties on the oval withbasic skill level! It looks like a normal game of NRL

Real tackles, no the fluffy soft AFL ones
They do the exact same thing in league! Except with out an opponent tackling them & from 6 meter side ways throws whilst jogging in a forwards direction with a larger rubber ball, not a leather one & with grips on the ball to control it betterNRL&NFLweLaughATafl wrote: Sun May 05, 2019 9:31 pmBasic skill level, is that when you can drop the ball as much as you like and get a point when you miss a shot at goal?Nrlolol wrote: Sat May 04, 2019 2:47 pmGoing by the people in the stands & fatties on the oval withbasic skill level!
