    I really like the NRL, not that big of a fan of the AFL though, but always like to watch some rugby, great sport.

                i just assumed it was rugby because atdhe uses the same icons for rugby and aussie rules.

                    I only got into it last year but the NRL reminds me more of the NFL because its less kicking, more physical, and the scores are way lower than the AFL. NRL scores typically stay under 50 but an AFL match can see around 150 points, there is more kicking involved and I believe the field is bigger. Like I said, only followed it for a year but really began to like the NRL.

                      I had never watched rugby until a couple summers ago, was kinda forced into going to a match at MTSU. I really enjoyed it. It's very similar to american football without all the pussy stuff like pads, helmets, uniforms,etc...

                      It's like, who needs all that, I have tube socks up to my knees, that'll work!

                          Been watching some lately.

                          Basically all it is .... "Hey, last minute lateral time" like at the end of a game.

                          Also, the game suffers for lack of blacks. If you had some brothers, you could have some athletic plays. Instead you got bulky honkeys and donut-eating Samoans all smashing each other. Now, that's nice and all.

                          But I want my blacks. They bring the athleticism and the entertainment... not to mention the trainwrecks.

                            AFL is just awesome.

                            Especially in close games where it gives betters the shits due to fast paced, end to end action.
                            Hawks v Cats was a great game today.

                            Rugby League/union is completely different sport

                              Just borrowing money from everyone I know to put on Duke.

                              I'm putting the finishing touches on my escape plan in case it goes down. I will owe so much money that I will probably have to leave the country. So if Duke goes down you wont see me posting for a while. Don't worry, I'll be back under new identity in a few months.

                                My Aussie buddy prefers the AFL as well but I just can't figure you AFL lovers out, I think the NRL is 10x better but to each his own, regardless its a great sport

                                  The great thing about Aussies is that they talk like they're shitfaced.

                                  Whetehr they're drinking, serious, at a funeral.... whatever. They always sound like they're roaring drunk.

                                    thats Union/League

                                    the guys in AFL are athletes and typically run 15+km (~10 miles) a game.



                                    Lots of confusion as we're talking about 3 different sports here

                                            I kind of figured you were joking, you seem like a solid guy so I wouldn't expect you to skip town. I'm pissed that baseball is starting because I like to follow it and the Buccos are playing a day time game tomorrow but I suck at capping the diamond, any leans?

                                                i'm now watching the newcastle/penrith game. i actually prefer the afl game as the field was way bigger and it was constant action.

                                                still dont know if this game is union or league though... they seem to be running a few yards, get tackled, then pass the ball to the guy behind them with their foot and then repeat the formula

                                                  i am starting to get into more sports like these nowadays. even liking the lesser known soccer leagues. feel there has to be tons of money to be made with all of these.

                                                  may have to start tailing people here on afl, rugby and small soccer leagues.

                                                    may have to start tailing people here on afl, rugby and small soccer leagues.
                                                    Feel free to do so. Im risking a couple units on the knights ML here and they are looking as though they have this game in the bag

                                                          I'll miss college hoops, its my second most profitable sport, but I at least have tennis, my most profitable to get me by until college foots where I at least can keep my head above water on the gridiron.

There are a number of talented cappers in the more sports section for both nrl and aussie rules (afl)...
