I actually think MMA/tennis/cycling are the toughest sports but I respect your opinion.

Depends how you look at it. Lawn bowls is pretty tough also when you take into consideration age in the equation, equity and sponsors.

Yep, all better than soccer…

MMA speaks for itself. Cycling/tennis compete over the course of 2 weeks. Doesn't get tougher then that they are the fittest athletes in the world.

What about the man that goes to work 7 days a week for his family - maybe 2 or 3 jobs and doesn't get to.see his family much as a result. Who is tougher the MM fighter or the family man. Both have to be fit. Both have to mentally tuned. Just one gets a week off or a few days - the other doesn't. Who do you worship more since you cant seem to worship yourself.

Your all forgetting one sport, motorsport..... That has to be hardest and most gruelling sport you can do...

Thats true. You made me laugh. Thanks. I guess my point was that life is a sport. Survival off the fittest. its tough, tougher than sport. I dont worship TV. I dont worship what they want me to see. I have a brain. Funny right. Anyway if they are so tough I invite anyone of your heroes to swap positions with you. Let me know how it works out. Lets see how tough they are.

Not sure where this conversation is going- but I know quite a few jockeys- and the stuff they put themselves through, only to get battered with various weird injuries- has to be respected. Sat & had 'breakfast' with Chris Munce back when he was riding. Had 2 sips of black tea, tossed the rest. Had a sip of Red Bull. Handed me the can & said he couldn't have anymore to stay under the weight for the day. Trotted off to the sauna. Then watched the rider next to him get his knee jammed into the gates, breaking his kneecap.

Madness.

If we are comparing toughness & sport...they should be considered.

Oh boy, think me and finnzo started off the soccer debate, wish I didn't after Tuck called it a game for mummy's boy's and punces having played it.

Can you get this thread back on track and give us a Wests Tigers suggested or rumoured signing for 2026 AHX ?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

How much you paying? Want my kids to afford home education.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Im only here for common sense.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Bulls, horses or donkeys?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

This is the signings thread right?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

First two

Some horses turn out to be donkeys. And what if they domesticated giraffes? Wouldn't that be another joy.

I know this is offtopic but I don't care. If there is one team I really wanna beat this season it's the dogs their fans need to be humbled they're the worst in the league.
