Since the other post has been locked, I would like try and show a balanced view of both codes. Firstly to the fella who was bagging the NRL - you were calling league rugby (rugby is generally reserved for rugby union) - which pretty much shows to me straight away that you have no idea about the code so you probably shouldn't be critisizing it. But anyway I've played a reasonable amount of both league and AFL (admittedly more league), so I have a fair idea about both sports. And really they're not that similar except for the football - and the obvious kicking aspects. Physically AFL is more aerobic fitness, whereas league has more power/strength aspects (obviously all of these aspects are in both games). Tactically the games are extremely different so I'm pretty much going to say why compare them? Thinking and skill is required for both - obviously different skills and tactics are required- but I have said: they are different games so why compare them.
