Why do these Rugby League people insist on coming here and try to justify how their sport is better than Aussie Rules. Most Aussie Rules supporters who grew up with the sport, cant get enough of the dual facets of toughness and uncanny skills of Aussie Rules, but we simply cannot fathom that Rugby League with its repetitive type of nature can have anything barely resembling the types of skills that there are in Aussie Rules.

To Rugby League supporters i simply say.....the average staunch Aussie Rules supporter simply does not care about Rugby League, we dismiss any notion that it has any type of skill basis, or the fact that its exciting to watch, its just simply way too boring. We're not going to change our opinions on your sport by what you post on here, so please go onto your RL boards and criticise and ridicule the great Australian game, we simply do not care, your sport just isn't worth giving any attention to. This Aussie Rules part of Big Footy should be for followers of the greatest game to debate our magnificent sport, not to justify it to supporters of an alternative sport, who have no appreciation for it!!!!!

With that sort of pay, he'd have to be one of the top 40 players in the AFL.

There are other reasons for switching codes though.

Adrian Barich signed with the Western Reds after his career at the West Coast Eagles. I remember seeing him play rugby league. He wasn't bad.
It was SuperLeague, not technically the NRL, but proves it can happen.

The Demons Matthew Whelan would have made a great NRL player, growing up in Darwin playing league. He chose Aussie Rules instead. He has had to keep his weight trim to play footy, but for a little guy he is an absolute axe and has really worked on his kicking accuracy.


you saw him play?? he didnt even play first grade.... Super league would have signed any dunce back then :D
 
Fishmonger, you're a liar who discreidts the AFL side of the argument everytime you open your mouth.

Adrian Barich did not play 2 season of RL, and his pedigree also would say AFL isn't as tough as you make it out to be.

Adrian Barich is the son of a well known preacher, whose name escapes me at the moment, was raised in Canberra before moving to Perth at age 15.

That why he has(had) an interest in the rugby codes, so then moving to Perth at 15 he takes the games of Victorian Rules football seriously, and he ends up playing for WA... so much for being an uber-skillful game. Tadhg Keneally also never kicked an oval ball in his life until he moved to Australia.

Additionally, Barich only played off the bench in 2 trial games in the 1995 pre-season for the Western Reds. He was signed only for promotional reasons, getting a high profile local name into the team.

I'm totally sick of you trolls.
This is the last time I answer one of your stupid attempts to shove Greg Inglis in everyone's face. Why don't you go and suck off his fricking c@ck.

You league idiots take offence to every fact I put out there. That's why you hate me so much. The truth is I couldn't give a **** who I discredit, AFL, NRL or otherwise. I don't follow any AFL clubs, I just happen to like sport. Is that a crime.

Have you finished polishing Inglis' knob yet dickweed ?

Anyway don't shoot the messenger about Barra.

Read this article if you want proof.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Barich

And if you want to modify it, feel free to do so, but your references need to be better than your word of mouth.

Living in Canberra he played union until he was 16 before converting to footy in 1980. Adrian moved back to Perth in 1983

In 1995 he joined WA's newly formed National Rugby League club, the Western Reds and played for two seasons

For your information, back then the VFL was not the only league that recruited out of the Canberra area before the first interstate sides appeared. It was a free-for-all. Players even went from Darwin to play in the WAFL or the SANFL, whoever offers the most money for the level of talent that they had. One of the best tiwi players of all time, David Kantilla never played a game of VFL, and was one of the best players the SANFL ever had.

Since when have I said the game is so "uber skilled" - uber nuber.
It requires different skills, that's all, and pretty hard for anyone to deny.
I think you can pick the game up at 16 years old when you are still developed, provided you have played other sports like soccer, gaelic football or rugby. At 19 though, it is a real stretch to start playing and be any good at it.

It is knobs like you that all but turned me off NRL forever in the first place. Queensland is full of you redneck ****ers. That's why I moved south in the first place.
