NRL vs AFL emotion

[Y2eel]

I don't think it is. They change clubs mid-season after being attracted by a larger sum of money and a fair few players are going over to the English Super League after being attracted by bucketloads of money. It's not as bad as it's all for money but strewth the loyalty to the club isn't a scratch on most AFL players. That's why there is more emotion in the AFL IMO

They dont change clubs mid season they sign a contract to join another club next season.. it happens due to a thing called the salary cap which prevents teams buying the comp...

Players still want to win the premiership thats why they play the game..

you guys have a draft where kids have to play for a team they get drafted into maybe not there team of choice but they go to them anyway so saaying that maybe the youngsters might not me to emotional seeing as though they might not be playing for a team they supported as a kid?

Y2eel, look at this!

West Tigers (NRL Premiers, 2005)
Players from Previous Clubs: 19
Percentage of Players from Previous Clubs: 61.3%

Sydney Swans (AFL Premiers, 2005)
Players from Previous Clubs: 9
Percentage of Players from Previous Clubs: 19.1%

Difference
10 players
42.2%

I think that justifies the point...so...

Do you even have a clue???

More likely AFL players are a bunch of sooks who burst into tears uncontrollably for little reason

Maybe so but it's still not as emotional as an AFL premiership and it shows. There's just more feeling about AFL premiership sides compared to the NRL sides.

you guys have a draft where kids have to play for a team they get drafted into maybe not there team of choice but they go to them anyway so saaying that maybe the youngsters might not me to emotional seeing as though they might not be playing for a team they supported as a kid?

Most players soon find mates in their teams, form bonds and play for the team. Not for money but the team they're playing for. Some players go home via a trade at the end of the season. It's still better than going to England for the money

It has to do with there emotion for winning it for there club many players take cuts to keep the team around them..

The bloke all you ppl are putting s hit on broke his leg playing for the Dragons, they gave him the boot to the Roosters, the Roosters will poach anyone, they realised they didn't need him.So NTH QLD said they would give him a go.
The bloke is trying to make a f....g living.

He did not go for money, he was payed $1500 FFS

What team is that???

BTW - Further on you using your example on West Tigers, there junior/league clubs are...Balmain, Campbelltown and Ashfield...no players came from there, therefore,...not juniors. O, Zilch, Nil, Nothing

 

[jipper]

it looks like he is trying to get something out of his eyes... what point are you proving... that all AFL players should let mass amounts of grit get into their eyes cos that's how you prove your tough?

I don't have a pee brain, i just have no interest in a ******** sport...and the fact that i have managed to waste time researching to prove a point, which seemingly is correct, is just another thing.

I don't get all this Rugby ********...I guess considering there are 10 teams in probably a 2 km radius of each other it doesn't matter. All i hear is...blah blah blah, I'm an NRL fan and it is the ********test sport ever.

It doesn't matter, all that matters is AFL >daylight> NRL

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

So is anyone going to tell me why Firman from the Cowboys is Whoring himself off, i mean $1500 isn't much when you think about it, 1 bad tackle and he may never walk again.

Also what about the players who have played for nothing over the last couple of years?

Some ppl didn't get payed 1 cent because a team like norths or someone got the chop.

What about players like beaver at Manly who continually takes a pay cut to stay at the 1 team?

you guys are just making things up
