I seriously wonder what these AFL folk have been smoking.

They seem to be chasing young rugby league players and Gaelic football players. Does anyone in Australia play the game?? Seems to the far eye that they need to poach players from other sports. What's the need for coming to Ireland and taknig gaelic players when there should be plenty of young Australians ready to take that place.

But anyway this is about RL so...

STOP TRYING TO TAKE OUR PLAYERS and leave our sport alone.

I said a while back when Hunt went that they'd chase Falou for the Western Sydney team which will be a costly mistake if they get him.

They're pretty stupid to be honest, although Falou spent his formative years in Minto, he has played for Queensland, The Broncos and The Storm, the 3 most hated Rugby League teams in Western Sydney.

He isn't popular in Western Sydney, he is seen as the enemy. Him going to AFL will do nothing positive for them.

lol, they are doing everything possible to turn even more people off their game.

Funny how they want RL players, yet I can't think of 1 AFL player worth poaching.

Yeah. We are lining up to sign AFL players...

If only one of them was well known.

there is quite a few who would make decent wingers.centres or possibly half backs if they converted at 16 or 17. Watched Wirrupunda (?spelling) a few years ago in a derby and he looked a very talented and fast runner and would have made a great centre if he had been playing RL from 15.

Sorry, no idea who you are talking about.

I've heard of abslet jrn and kelvin shonky, that's about it.

that's ok, ignorance is nothing to be ashamed of. Some of us are sports fans so see players from other games around the world and can pass judgement on their potential to have made it in RL.

no, i just have no interset in afl, i know of a few cricketers, union players, hell even some soccer players that i'd like to see in rl, just not afl as i can't watch it.

you might be able too and good on ya, but i can't.

As I understand it, AFL isn't exactly seen "around the world"...

No rugby league club is wasting the money on AFL players they are prepared to pay for our players.

That much is brutally clear.

true but I reckon there is heaps of jnr AFL talent that would be very succesful in our game. I know the Storm SG ball team has some kids they've recrutied from AR and I presume when we get back we will be scouting the WAFL jnr leagues for talent.

Juniors are a different issue...

Whether it is for the skills of the players or the media attention (in my view it is a combination of the two), it is clear which code has the most prizes in its ranks for the other codes to consider poaching.

The evidence is incontrovertible.

The answer is rugby league.

please dont make fun of JB, or he will run behind your back and complain!

its funny seeing someone who has been complaining a lot lately calling other ignorant when it suits

little tip, if you dont like critisism, dont hand it out
