AFL vs. NRL

[Boss 260 Ute]

Hey,
I did a search but couldn't find anything so feel free to close if need be...........

What do you prefer AFL or NRL? I prefer AFL but am starting to get into NRL.....Can anyone tell me any rules and stuff about it?

Thanks,

[Bax]

Pretty sure this is going to swing one sided towards AFL, I was thinking that when I saw it come up on tele last night.

They each have their pro's and con's.

AFL
Pro: Does take alot of skill
Con: Not often do you see a skillful game
Pro: It flows onwards
Con: It flows because they're chasing it around on the ground until they stop.
Pro: The players aren't brainless idiots (as much)
Pro: Some damn good marks.

NRL
Pro: When they tackle, they TACKLE, not grab each other like they're having rough sex.
Con: The game doesn't flow. Why even have scrums these days?
Pro: State of Origin, Test series, Aus -NZ.
Con: They're idiots.

Each have their own qualities, I'd prefer both of them over soccer in terms of a spectator sport, but I had to choose NRL, mainly because I don't often see an AFL game that can keep me interested. If its good neat play after good neat play, I can watch, if its constant fumbles and dribble kicks and behinds I'll change the channel.

AFL
Pro: Does take alot of skill to get them shorts on..
Con: Not often do you see a skillful game because most time is spent fumbling the ball.
Pro: It flows onwards for the few seconds there actually not fumbling.
Con: It flows because they're chasing it around on the ground until they stop.see what I mean,they must coat the ball with butter.
Pro: The players aren't brainless idiots (as much)they just have really high pitched voices on the field,because of them tight shorts.
Pro: Some damn good marks. they love showing off them shorts dont they..

NRL
Pro: When they tackle, they TACKLE, they grab each other like they're having rough sex.
Con: The game doesn't flow. Why even have scrums these days?because they must really love the smell of a mans arss..
Pro: State of Origin,the time of year where wally lewis comes out of hibernation.
Con: They're idiots.with no necks,but I wouldnt call them that..

Your the first All Black I have come across that likes AFL. And I am sure most AFL supporters wouldnt know an All Black from a full back.

Go Matty Burke, you good thing, you.

Former all black turned cricket player cant remember his name, Anyway what made George greegan famous was this blonde headed willy, He was running too the try line nothing was going too stop him they were going too win, Enter Georgie slam that ***** knocks the ball out of his hands woohoo Aussie's win George is Australian of the year for a day.

Anyway AFL for me. Second NRL then Rugby Union. Can't tummy soccer very much, Must take in small doses.

[Ryan]

I don't really care for either, but if I was a mad supporter, it would have to be NRL.

You said it. My wife is a Sheffield Wednesday supporter and you can argue its the true football because you always kick the ball.

I prefer sticking pins in my eyes to watching it though.

[rodderz]

I'm 1st and foremost AFL but being engaged to a banana bender I've seen a few NRL & local qld matches plus the 3rd state of origin this year I dont mind league

If it's a comparo between the footy shows the NRL one wins hands down

Best comment in the thread!!

[MITCHAY]

NRL. Never been a fan of AFL and never will be. It used to **** me off when my dad and his mates would hog the TV to watch it.

[banarcus]

As a follower of League and Union, you can tell a Victorian created this thread. Other countries dont play NRL, unless they have playstation 2 at home.

[MO]

Umm whats AFL.....?

[GK]

AFL for me.

Go Hawks for 2007!

GK

[JG66ME]

Rugby Union

[MRJUCY]

I prefer football but from the two it's league for me, the Mexican game is too scrappy & union is just crappy.

[AEF_Silver94]

NRL 100% , AFL is boringgggg.. * thinks about an AFL game * ..ZZZzzzzzzzzz

[StookEB]

the word Footbal means different things to everybody, soccer to me mum, AFL to me dad, NRL to me so when somebodyy says footbal they need to say the what they mean (sorry).

[vandrsxr6]

Might be bias. But it's gotta be AFL. League has got to be one of the most boring games going round. Rather tune in to the Autralian Open Lawn Bowls Comp.
