Is it just me or is the NRL boring!!!!!

[MickZu]

You can't go anywhere near the head mate.

Every single tackle in RL has the tackler's arm around the head and when he's on the deck, the head is pushed into the ground.

Every tackle, it never changes!!

 

[Roonaldo!]

Be quite easy to mistake this for one judging by the amount of topics on Rugby League.

Heh.

 

[CarltonRulz]

I dont see how everybody can find NRL boring
Its more entertaining that most sports (not AFl though)

Its relative!

I find League boring to AFL, but much more entertaining that somthing like.. say Golf or Bowls.

Least they aint watching Union, the snoozefest to end all Snoozefests.

as someone brought up on aussie rules i agree, i love the nrl and most matches i see are fantabulous.......much better than boring soccer.

afl fans only say that because they feel frightened of the nrl, scared that it might take over one day so they go around saying league is boring trying to convince themselves........and give themselves a feel good factor, a bit like a security blanket........you know, as long as you keep repeating the mantra the evil spirits will be kept away.

melburians are very insular and inward looking.

AFL sux.

The reason why ??

You do not get punished for your mistakes.

You can drop it, fumble it, punch it and kick it out on the full. If you do these things, so what ?? keeping posession is good, but not that big a deal , because the turnovers are so frequent.

And the marks ?? You see better ones every NRL game, except the Rugby League full back has to catch it, or a try is likely. AFL players take good marks, but if they don't , some idiot has probably punched the ball away anyway.

Too many points in AFL, makes it dull like basketball. A try in league is hard to come by, that is what makes the game great. what is exciting about seeing a ball disappear through 4 oddly placed sticks 40 times in a day ??? Lots I suppose, if you have the patience and mindset of a goldfish.

As an Australian, I'm enbarassed by the game

Union > League. REAL Rugby.

Wah wah wahhhhh.

Now f*ck off this AUSTRALIAN RULES FOOTBALL forum.

Jesus you NRL freaks, if you don't want to get ********ed at Victorians bagging NRL then DON'T go to a f*cking Aussie Rules site, easy.

You idiots.

Be nice, the dude has an opinion, and a very good opinion at that

 

[Bomber Bears]

Union > League. REAL Rugby.

Yeah, we had to start OUR game cos the powers that be in Union thought it dishonourable for a player that had ruptured his spleen in a game and couldnt work recieved compensation.

League is where its at, a shirtload better than run 5 metres, run 5 metres, fall over, penalty, lets take a shot at penalty goal. The team with the better goal kicker wins Union as opposed to the better team.

Soccer and rugby league are similar in many ways. The backpassing and offsides etc. But I can say soccer is a better sport. The scrums and continuous tackles in rugby are so boring (like stoppages in AFL)

This whole debate has proven Sydney is the true sporting capital of the world They follow all sports and we've held an olympics in the last 5 years. The Commonwealth games are just a chance for Australia to win a medal tally.

So true...... and Brisbane/Gold Coast is well on the way to becoming the 2nd biggest sporting centre in Australia.

Bleak city is getting even bleaker!

You're a knob.

So Sydney is now the Sporting capital of the world....

Sydney watch one AFL grand final, watch one NRL final, have an olympic games, and suddenly you're the sporting capital of the world.

Forget about the Australian Open Tennis, Formula 1, Spring Racing Carnival... etc.

These happen every year.
But yes, Sydney does do quite well for one-off events. You would be on par with Melbourne.

But year to year, sorry... you've come a long way, but you've got even further to go.

ICC Super test...
And the reason we dont come out in force as much is there is actually stuff besides sport to don in this fine state.

another knob.

would you like to offer some insight into how you figure this makes any logical sense?

Brisbane/Gold Coast is not fast on the way to becoming 2nd Anything in Australia. Except perhaps a second home for sun-loving Victorians.

2nd most amount of bogans after Townsville maybe?

So you rebutt my point with another one-off event? Are you stupid or something? That was exactly my point.

...and there's that chestnut about having more to do. That just makes us laugh down here. You NSW/Sydney people are so conceited, your economy is falling down around your ankles like the cheap hooker your city is. And meanwhile Melbourne is powering ahead in every aspect. Watch your back, because Melbourne hasn't been for about half a decade.

Sydney is stagnant. Read it. Deal with it.

Once you get over being blinded by that beautiful harbour, it's very easy to see what lies beneath and it's far from pretty.

 

[Monkster]

You forget to mention how easy it is to take a mark when you dont have another player trying to punch it away from you.

I live in Wollongong, and i prefer Sydney over Melbourne anyday. I just like being able to sit in a cafe and not breathe in 10 different ciggerettes at once.

That's excellent news.

So have you actually been to Melbourne?
You're not allowed to smoke inside restaurants or cafes.

I live in Melbourne, and I prefer Melbourne over Sydney anyday. I just like being able to go to a club and dance, instead of standing around like a poser.

If by 'sports' you mean chutney ferretting, salad tossing and holding parades for blokes dressed as giant parrots, then yes. Sydney is the sporting capital of the world.

The only mildly interesting league grandfinal was when newcastle won. Last night was ordinary. How can they ******** off over that guy prancing around and tossing the ball behind his back? Christ.
