[QUOTE="dukey, post: 2392946, member: 2046"] The different is the nature of the sports. It's much, much harder to score at all in rugby league, meaning it's much harder to thrash another side. It's all relative. A 4-point win isn't huge in rugby league, but it's a thrashing in soccer. Likewise, the Rabbits thrashing the Eels by 50 points is probably equivalent to a 100 point win in the AFL, considering an Aussie Rules player can score 6 points from 50 out, whereas a leaguie has to get through a defensive line and take the ball right into the in-goal. Besides, teams like Port Adelaide and Melbourne have been around a long time. How is expansion to blame for their poor showings? Neither team have lost considerable players to GC or GWS; both have fared pretty well in the draft in recent years... is it really a case of the talent being spread too thin across the league? Or are they just unable to get their **** together, like the talent-rich Titans and Raiders in our own comp? [/QUOTE]
