Rumours and Stuff

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

has anyone ever tested if you can pass an american football further than an NRL football?
I think the answer is obviously yes you can.
I think we should start using an american football for rugby league.
They are also harder to kick which would be good for RL as kicking is too easy.
I also think they are harder to catch. I don't know what to make of that.

Why not just use a cricket ball then?

Yes....Strangely enough, the only hard requirement in the rules is that the ball be inflated and oval in shape. Everything else can be varied by the ARLC as they see fit. And the shape of the standard ball has definitely gone more in the direction of the gridiron ball since the 70s.

What if we inflated the balls with helium? Or nitrogen? Or farts? Would that change the game much? Would it f**k up Moses' long kicks?

that would be stupid

 

[Gronk]

Um what ? How can the Dogs sign Munster ?

I thought they had to shed players to register Rheed and Kikau?

And two left footed 5/8’s make little sense.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

It wouldn't be until 2024. It's 0.1% chance of happening.

Munster may have a dickhead factor but hes 3 times the player Ponga is. Dolphins would be mad not to prioritise Munster.

Haha April 1st was last friday.

No chance munster will want to live in Sydney with all the scrutiny around.

Brisbane or Melbourne

Yep. And with Melbourne players Kaufusi and J Bromwich already signed Munster should be their main priority.

Didn't they fill a ball with helium once to see the effects? I seem to recall something like that on the footy show and El-Masri was kicking goals at Belmore from like 70 or 80 metres out....the ball just kept going when he booted it....

Ive seen wingers and props feed the scrum. Does that make them half backs?

Any merkin can feed a scrum. More important is who is first receiver at the scrum, what his instructions are and who passes to him.

I reckon they should go back to inflating it with mud, like in the 70s.

Farts might change the game, but not for the better, I wouldn't think.

He had to kick it pretty quickly after placing it on the tee though.
