As a proud Aussie i love my rugby league. I also love the skills present in gridiron. Just wondering If many american MFPers have watched much rugby league and what your thoughts are? Skillsets used. Pace of the game fitness of the players etc...

cheers!

    I'm an Aussie too, but I prefer real rugby :P Go Wallabies and Force.

    The only NRL I watch is State of Origin (I'm from QLD originally) and the grand final.
    I also watch NFL, and while I find NFL more entertaining, I think the NRL players are much more skilled. Watching the NFL and seeing how they get injured, I can't help come to the conclusion that the padding makes them complacent. It's like they don't learn how to tackle or take a tackle safely.

    I'm having trouble finding the details now, but some years ago I'm pretty sure one of the NFL teams actually came over to Australia to play a rugby league game against an NRL team. They stopped at half time because the NFL guys couldn't take the physicality.
