Which SPORT is Tougher, Rugby League or American Football? | NRL vs NFL

[Motorhead]

Think the AFL is pretty underated...
But Rugby league for sure
When they going for the ball in AFL, put there bodies on the line but they got no protection at all.....

Lot of standing around doing fuck all if you are a forward or defender and the ball is up the other end. Blokes in the middle rack up plenty of km's following the ball.

It's way tougher now.

Absolute bullshite…If you didn’t play footy in the 70’s or 80’s you can’t relate. The guys these days are fitter and bigger etc but, the rules were so so different to now.

No fighting, no shoulder charges, interchanges, bullshit scrums, and no genuine fear of retribution if you pissed off the wrong person.

No pissy little back ever got in the face of a genuine hard ass forward, these days they have bullshit immunity…

It might be fitter and faster but fucking bullshit it is tougher.

Even the playing surface was harder back then.
