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.

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.

No no. You are in the right thread. Signings, suggestions rumours and jockeys
 
For me league is the toughest sport in the world. Been a front rower playing 27 rounds of league plus finals. Not to mention every trainings session is brutal these days including wrestling sessions.
Seriously imagine what James Fisher Harris has put his body through over the past 4 years it’s nothing short of incredible.

That might be true, but at the end of the day, it’s a culture thing. It’s what you are raised on. For us, it’s RL. For Victorians, South Australians etc it’s AFL. Europeans it’s Soccer (Or Football). It’s why it would never make it in America. Or cricket for that matter. It’s impossible to penetrate the culture and make an impact. At best, it would be a novelty thing or niche game.

Do you think he is being developed properly here?
You can’t blame his old man for thinking that may not be the case.

Clearly the Galvin's don't think he is being developed here properly.
We will only change this by putting the proper care and changing the culture a bit. Kow-Towing though to semi-proven talent will just give us spoiled brats.

Nigel Plum was the one that got me. He needed 3 hours of taping before he could take the field, due to pre-existing injuries. Penrith was cruel playing him like that.

Liam Fulton and a bunch of others, yea I feel for them. I really wish we went back 5 meters and not 10, it would at least help.
 
I think soccer is the best sport because of the simplicity of the rules, the openness in the way the game flows and the variety in the styles of play and players. In order to maintain possession you must have strategy and skill.

I love rugby league because of the tigers and it's historical significance to Sydney, harking back to a time when the city wasn't crap and overrun with AFL and basketball and UFC fans.

But rugby league has so many gimmicky and artificial rules, from the 10m to the 6 tackle set to 40/20s to added random fun of 6 agains and a plethora of others. None of those rules seem like a natural consequence of the game and most have been implemented to improve the spectacle. But to me that detracts a little from the purity of the sport and objectively I reckon soccer is a much better sport.

This reminds me of the bellend that would comment on every NRL YouTube video stating soccer is the superior sport lol.

I played soccer as a kid and still think league is a better game.
