Rugby league is tougher than NFL

[Josh knight]

if you had one top tier NFL level athlete, just one, in your rugby league, he'd be the only thing any of you ever talked about ever. you just don't understand the difference in talent, and that's fine. go back to your island where everybody is related.

What a ridiculous comment. You obviously have no idea about the game Rugby League. Actually a few American footballers did attempt to play the game. Manfred Moore who played in a super bowl. Attempted to play league and failed miserably. He lasted four games before being relegated to reserve grade. He quit because of a head injury.

[Josh knight]

Failed?

Guy made the roster as a running back despite never having played the game before and was going to be picked up for a second season

He left because he was bored

He didn't quit cause he was bored. He quit cause he was lazy and disliked the stricter training. Although Hayne is talented as seen in his NFL highlights. He is not the best we have got. Their are atleast 20 players I can think of who are far more talented and determined than Hayne. Imagine Inglis in his prime.

[New England]

He'd want to be subbed off after 5 mins. Big, fast but cannot last.

keep telling yourself that. i know it's comforting, but one of our nations produces the best athletic talent in history, and one does not. which of our counties is the most historically successful sporting nation in the world? mine or yours?

and how about the money? would your athletes not want to make multiples of their current salary, not pay socialist tax rates around 45-50%, and have endorsement contracts?

ask a rugby player if he thinks he could hack it in the NFL. they'll be honest and say no. ask an NFL player if he could hack it in any rugby league. they'll laugh at you first, and then tell you the truth that one league has legitimately world class, premium athletic talent, and the other genuinely does not. you guys wouldn't even think these guys were real, and that's fine. i don't expect somebody who is ignorant and probably void of athletic talent or background himself to ahve any idea what i am talking about when i say that one group of athletes is in a different class from another.

You don't know what you're talking about

We have actually won more World cups than your country has ever done. 3 ones in Rugby,5 in cricket, 4 in league, 10 in netball. Plus we have been very succesful in swimming and tennis. This again proves you have absolutely no idea.

Were im from we play Rugby League. Not to be confused with union. It is a far tougher game than NFL. Their are no pads. It's doesn't stop. So the fitness levels are far superior. Now I'm not saying we have better players. Due to population. A standard NFL player with the right conditioning would kill it at league. However Rugby League currently has some of the greatest players of all time. Out of those players I believe Billy Slater could compete in NFL. Each year the best players from 2 states play each other in a series called State of Origin. These 3 games per year are brutal. A famous player once said its like 2 guys hold their hands over a flame and the first one to pull out loses. These games are probably the biggest sporting even in Australia each year. In 2014 grand final a player called Sam Burgess fractured his cheek bone and eye socket in the first hit. He played the entire game in the winning team and was awarded man of the match afterwards. Doctors later said he could of easily died during the game.

So it's played padless and its continuous. I think that's all I need to rest my case.

Rugby league seems similar to smear the qveer in violence and brutality.

I wouldn't exactly say he failed. He actually went pretty good. The guy has a massive ego. He was a huge fish in league. When he went to NFL he was a goldfish in an ocean. He began to hate not being noticed. That is the main reason he left. The guy is also extremely lazy. He is known to be shocking at training. He only plays to his ability during big games. He was never going to succeed at NFL. His attitude is not right. Now Greg Inglis at his best would be able to compete in NFL. Billy Slater is another one. Here's a video of Jarryd Haynes highlights in NFL

Here is a tape of Slaters highlights. The guys a freak

Here is Greg Inglis. The guy is big but moves well

I strongly urge you to watch Haynes highlights before calling him a failure.

He was a failure. They brought him on sell jerseys to dumb Australians. He also said NFL hits were harder and he couldn't sleep at night after getting hit.

Last time I saw a Jarryd Hayne 49ers jersey in Australia was .......

NEVER

There's a simple explanation as to why some NFL tackles are harder: shoulder charges and use of helmets as a weapon are allowed whilst players often get hit from behind (like boxing, it's the punch you dont see that generally does the most damage)

In league, there are no shoulder charges or helmets and it is a front-on collision sport

To further emphasise the difference in the games, the NFL CAREER record for tackles has been exceeded numerous times in a SEASON in the NRL

What's more, 2 top quality, 120 kg (260 + pounds) players with 7-8% body fat have recently been told to drop muscle mass as their bulk is a liability

Imagine how a 25% fat **** lineman would make out?

They wouldnt come close to making the grade as these are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT sports with COMPLETELY DIFFERENT physiology and skillset requirements

To say that Hayne was a failure for making a roster as a complete and utter novice is ridiculous when you take all that into consideration and I guarantee that very few NFL players could do the same in NRL

No ones reading all that drivel. And yes you dip****s bought up the jerseys. He couldn't hang and was nothing more than a publicity stunt to make money off Australians.

They were bought by dumbarse Americans

Btw, how many games of NFL, NRL or any professional sport have you played?

My guess is somewhere between nil and zero
