And forwards in League run decoys etc, the point was that running backs don't have to tackle. League players do.

Are you seriously having a dig at League with that statement?
Every forward on the field is heavily involved in every game. Every half, be it 5/8 or 1/2 is heavily involved in every game. That leaves 4 players on each team who are able to rest occasionally during a game, even though that resting consists of moving all the time, tackling and running. Not even taking into account chasing kicks which in NFL are chased by team #3.
The mere fact that a 1 hour game takes 4 hours to play means that the time spent waiting to play is a damn sight more than the time on the field.
Every player is rested for long periods during every NFL game.

You're forgetting to mention that the defence for the attacking team isn't playing when they have the ball.
Marathon runners don't get to stop after 5 minutes, sit for 5 minutes, then run for another 5 minutes either.

As Bomber pointed out, 200 metres with the ball is considered a great achievement. They don't add in running without it. Nor do they in the NFL. Yet the NRL running back who has run 200 mtres has made 0 tackles.

I didn't say that, I said League players had more stamina.
