We'll aside from kicking A ball the two codes only share some minor points - scoring - different, shape of pitch different, number of participants different, role of players different - development of games completely seperate - really an ignorant statement really - however RL only come about because players wanted to get paid in a depression - enough said!214Four wrote:Gaelic football says helloSwans4ever wrote:RL has had 100 years exposure in England and France, Australia and NZ and are still in the same position they were 20 yrs ago in that time AF has grown from being played in one country to now 60 - I wonder what their respective positions will be in another 20 yrs?

Another fumbler re-writing history.
Can you tell me about the Great depression of 1896??..
BS points don't apply anymore. There are no other mods on the fight club than me. A number of RL fans have been offered the role but declined.curiousbee wrote:Hi all, newbie here.
I love rugby league and a couple of days ago I was googling the progress of RL around the world and this site popped up as one of the links. Didn't intend to stay around but it was a very, shall I say, "intriguing" read through this whole thread. (Yes I did read all of 72 pages)
I found it very entertaining and I would love to be a part of it.
I have a few questions though about some of the rules since I couldn't find them in the 'rules and guideline' section. (Or please direct me to the right thread if I'm wrong)
What are BS points?
How does the "you prove it or we win the country" thing work?
What do you mean by "move post it to the TFC" thing when someone claims your post is "bulls**t kinda thing?
And are there any mods in this forum that like RL more than AR at all? It seems a tad bit one sided judging by a lot of threads I've read so far, at least IMO they are.
I'd appreciate all the help I can get.
Happy fighting all! x
Alipate Savai Navuso, Fiji men's captain, started playing Aussie rules in 2011 when his younger brother urged him to join the tour for Fiji for the first AFL International Cup.
"The reason I fell in love with footy was that it could take me places, especially in Australia," he said.
"Playing rugby you have to have a lot of talent to come overseas or be in a Fiji team, but for footy all you need to do is train, and you're in the team."
