inglis scouted by the nfl

[Paullyboy]

Twitch muscles my arse. I've never in my life heard that, and I studied Biology for 8 years.:lol:

.

Fast twitch fibres are one of the first things you would have talked about in the first semester of biology. If you haven't heard about it, probably explains why you've been 'studying' it for 8 years - you've clearly failed that many times you are still there.

Stop trying to communicate with people who know what they are talking about.

Chris Johnson would smoke anyone in the NRL over 40. Regardless of how it was timed or etc.

This isn't a pissing contest. In the NFL they train to be explosive and to be able to go as quick as they can and as hard as they can in small bursts. In the NRL you need to have a much bigger motor because of the length of the game and less breaks.

Not heard of fast, slow or neutral twitch muscles? Clearly you don't know much about f**k all.

I've heard of fast twitch muscles.

I've also heard of guys running a certain distance and being timed whilst doing it. Generally speaking, if they record a similar time, that means that when racing each other they will finish quite close together. This complex concept refutes your claim that Chris Johnson would smoke anyone in the NRL over 40.

Standard response from a Rugby Union fan. DOn't know sh*t but pontificate like you do.

There are two types of voluntary muscle fibres, slow switching and fast twitching. The latter are known to provide a more explosive, impulse motion particuarly in contract motions and these fibres fatigue faster. They can also engage in anaerobic reactions, this causes lactic acid.

People of West African heritage are known to be genetically disposed to have a higher concentration of fast twitching muscle fibres in their voluntary muscle make up.

You take take the boy out off the RU board, but you can't take the stupid out of the RU fan.

Exactly. West African. These West Africans could reside in Greenland or f**king Peru.

If you followed the conversation you'd know these kids are trying to suggest African-Americans are genetically superior to Africans living anywhere else in the world. Which is absolute bullsh*t.

I can't ignore this because it's easily the most absurd thing I've ever read about the subject :lol:

Shame that it's a proven statistic, by the NFL themselfs :roll:

Taking my post out of context because you know I'm right.

mahybe you should have studied harder... 8 years, what did u study and where?

You know nothing about biology or sport. Stop talking sh*te.

no just studies Medical science (including muscle physiology) and am in 2nd year of medicine (including muscle physiology)... but no I have never studies anything biology or sports.

There is a very big difference between fast twitch and slow twich. Fast twich muscles have a higher compasity to use anaerobic respiration (i.e more force but over a smaller time scale) which fast twitch has an increase in mitochondria which allows sustained energy use by at a lower force. There is also inbetweens but I would rather not make it to too complicated for you.

Yeah. That's the main difference, mental and physical stamina. And also our best attacking players need to defend well too, much greater versatility, and infinitely better ball skills overall.

Read my responses. You're all taking my posts out of context.

I want you to prove that Africans residing in America have a different muscle structure to Africans residing outside of America. You can't because it's a fallacy. Nothing but yank propoganda that their athletes, africans in particular, are genetically superior to all others.

There is no difference between an African living in Australia or GB and an African living in America. The end.

This is the point I'm trying to make.

I played AF from 13 years old and by the time I reached 19 and made it to a semi decent level we had a playbook 50 pages long we had to memorise! Given some RL players have difficulty putting a sentence together I am thinking anyhting more than a post route or hook is going to screw them up!

Not every position would have to memorise all the plays though? Why would a kick returner or punter need to know them all.

Usain Bolt beats his competitors by less than half a second and it is considered smoking them.

Chris Johnson's time over 40 may not be half a second less but it would be considerably quicker. He's not the only one who could come over here and burn our best either.

At the pro-bowl they used to have a race over 100. I remember Terrell Owens winning it a few years back and running 10 something. Dude is 6'3 and weighs 220 pounds. I can't imagine anyone in the NRL matching that.

100 yards in 10 secs is pretty good, not world class but not too bad.

:?

220lbs is 100kg, smaller than a lot of NRL speedmen.

My namesake is 245lbs and pre-knee injuries he could run the 40 yards in about 4.4 (of course in the NRL we rely on the clubs for this info). And someone with Vatuvei's frame could easily play at 260lbs plus if he was only required in short bursts.

6'3" and 240 or 250lbs and can run 40 yards in 4.4 or 4.5 are great stats and there are a number of guys like that in the NRL. Of course they'll never be able to learn the game well enough to make it, but it's not the raw stats that are letting them down.

 

[nqcowboy87]

im no nfl expert, i like watching the games and playing madden but i reckon a guy like dave taylor could make a good running back like ladainian tomlinson, imagine somebody like peyton manning taking the snap and handing off too dave atylor, thatd be pretty awesome

 

[Bman26]

I think Jamal "Meninga" "Greatest player of ALL TIME" Idris would not only make it in the NFL, but be their highest paid and most highly regarded player. Simply put, he is the greatest NFL player in the world without ever having played the sport.

NY Jets tempt Inglis with slice of The Big Apple
ADRIAN PROSZENKO
May 23, 2010
Greg Inglis has attracted interest from another cashed-up cross-code rival - but it's not rugby or AFL.

The Sun-Herald can reveal that a senior official from the New York Jets NFL team has made an unsolicited approach to the Maroons superstar. Inglis is under contract to Melbourne until the end of 2012 but could be forced out of the embattled club after it was busted rorting the salary cap.

The Storm centre has plenty of options, with AFL franchises GWS and Essendon - as well as nine NRL clubs - expressing interest should he become a free agent. The wild card in the equation could be the chance to join the National Football League, where the money available would dwarf anything on offer in Australia. Australian-based NFL scouting agency OzPunt has received an email from a Jets official - seen by The Sun-Herald - inquiring about Inglis's availability for trials in New York. The official, from the club's player personnel department, became interested after word of Inglis's athletic ability filtered through to the US football ranks.

''He could go any time he wants but there could be an opportunity for him to trial after the last round of the NRL,'' OzPunt representative Paul Shepherd said. ''They'd put him through a variety of drills and then they'd talk to him about where his best position would be.'' Shepherd said he believed Inglis would be best suited as a punt receiver or an outside linebacker. He added that Inglis would be able to earn a six-figure training contract in his first year if he impressed scouts. He could land a contract worth more than $1 million if he made it to the big time. With the Storm out of finals contention, Inglis could fly to the States for a trial before returning for the Kangaroos' Four Nations campaign in October.

Shepherd said he was wary of being linked to NRL players, believing several had used his organisation as a bargaining tool to prop up their market value. Previously, Willie Mason, Cory Paterson, Todd Carney, Israel Folau, Sam Thaiday and Manu Vatuvei have expressed interest in the NFL. However, Mason is the only one to have attended a trial, coincidentally with the Jets.

''He [Inglis] would be absolutely sensational at the back,'' Shepherd said. ''Imagine him returning the ball with three or four blokes blocking for him. But from our perspective, we've been burnt by NRL players before and are cautious about being used.

''The Jets contacted us about Greg - it wasn't the other way around. If he's serious, we can organise trials but we wouldn't be doing another thing until we heard from Greg or his manager.

''There is an opportunity for NRL players [to play NFL] but to date they haven't been taking it seriously. It's a matter of who wants to be the first to crack the door down.''

The Jets are no strangers to Australian talent. Former Geelong AFL star Ben Graham spent four years in the Big Apple as a punter.

Todd Carney, is he kidding?

Someone delete this thread,none of these NRL fools are ever playing in the NFL.
