Message: [QUOTE="Professor47, post: 2178455, member: 1831"] I'm not a huge USA fan by any means, but we just cannot compete with them when it comes to professionalism in sport. Obviously population, the junior systems, cash and a whole range of issues play a part here, but NRL cannot compete in athleticism with the states, clean or not. (Obviously not everyone is clean) Personally I don't enjoy the NFL at all from the limited stuff I have seen, some of the athletes will rip it up over here. BUT they would have to learn the game, whether they have the god given 'football' skills that we've been blessed to witness from players such as freddie, joey and locky, that I don't know. Furthermore, even Australia is not producing footy players now anyway, to be honest with you, the only young guns that impress me are the athletes, naturally centres and ball runners, eg Inglis and Folau but I have not seen a new locky at all. Remember freddie, joey and locky, they were special even when they started. There was something different about them, they knew how to play. [/QUOTE]
