Shocking article that one, he has to have been paid something extra for that, it is something that just shouldn?t be published. The points he was trying to make and his justifications were beyond bias? St George played their worst game of the season skill wise, and the game was nowhere near perfect in teams of rugby league skills, the Dragons probably made as many knock-ons as there were fumbles in the AFL GF.

Perhaps he could mention how many "unknowns" League has - I can't actually remember the last time a League player had to back back into a pack of players, while keeping their eyes on the ball while having no idea what is coming at you from behind.
I am not anti-league but jesus - it would take me 2 seconds to write a more damning article on their game versus ours.

His article just proves that the possibility of the Sydney Swans becomming a a true superpower of the game is putting a lot of fear into the hearts of hardcore league followers.Comment

As a spectacle of skills, there is no doubt in my view that the AFL has gone downhill. However, to compare it to NRL and say that it loses as a spectacle from a skill perspective is just ludicrous.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Isn't Gibbo dead?
I could have sworn he died?
Oh, that's right sorry - I couldn't give a stuff IF he was dead!
I knew there was something about him and death.

I agree mate!
I am both a rugby league and AFL supporter and i also appreciate both codes.I do not try to compare the both codes as its like comparing apples with oranges.
(Gee,i am coming up with the cliches now!I better get a job at the Liberal Party newspaper...whoops...sorry,i mean't to say the telegraph)
The only time Gibbo was remotely interesting was in the 80s with Wide World of Sports.
Now he a boring old fart.Well done Craig Bolton for getting the co- captaincy in 2008.
Your determination,your tenacity and your under-rated skill is why you have become my favourite player!Comment
