Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Yep, all better than soccer…

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

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.

Really. Have you seen the sports in Sahara's desert?

What, camel racing? Have you seen the mountains they climb in the Tour De France?

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...

Mate you have to be an absolute nutter to be a motogp rider.

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.

No no. You are in the right thread. Signings, suggestions rumours and jockeys

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.

 

[upthetigers]

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.

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.
