NFL, NRL or AFL (3 Viewers)

I've only played Rugby League for a few years, so can't really make a decisive judgement.
I would say NFL though, those guys just get smashed. In the other codes you don't get snapped unless you have the ball - you get crunched all over the park in NFL, which leads me to think they are "tougher".

afl RULES!!!!!!!!!!!advanced sam said:
so does the NRL, im a fan of both.
growing up in sydney, i was a passionate league supporter and hating AFL at first too, but now i love it
NFL is probably the toughest sport i reckon
I think it comes down to what you classify as toughness for the NRL and NFL. NFL the hits are often (legally) bigger but you do have A LOT of stoppages. Teams for offense and defense. Wide recievers are incredibly fit but at the same time plenty of players are clinically obese.
In rugby league your not getting hit after every play but you just dont stop going the whole game. I think the best analogy I've heard is would you prefer to get hit with a truck once or get hit with a car 4 times.
Having said that, that's only talking about hits. Theres so many other facets of either game.

now that is true
NFL players are wearing padding and are not moving very fast when they get hit normally.
NRL players get tackeled often but again the speed normally isnt there.
AFL big hits are not as common as the have the sense to get rid of the ball first but they are moving much faster when they get hit (guy lost a kidney a few years ago).
Apples and oranges really to different to tell really.

He likes to play being an emo and finger his arsehole. Scatch that actually. His sig has cricket, soccer and hockey in it. So i would say cricket, soccer and hockey. Hockey players can get quite big. Also i'v seen lots of 60kg footy players. So in theory, suck my dick.

see over in the AFL thread they're talking about one of the teams signed a rugby player
couldn't happen in any other sport
the "highest level" (snigger) of the sport signs a professional who's never played it before and he fits right in
proof there's no skill

2true prove it. Also i went from league last year to afl this year. took like 2 games before i had it worked out. but thats the same with all sports. good athletes can just swap and pick shit up. i still cant kick for shit but i can tackle so thats why i gets to be fullback. see, interchangeable skillz.
