Ah, I made the same mistake many times. Click on my profile and write a message there, or there may be a 'View Conversation' button underneath the message I sent you, which then takes you onto a separate page for the conversation.Hi Dan. I'm trying to message you but only succeeded in messaging myself.Can you or anyone give me a crash course in sending messages to a specific person on the forum?
I'm not 100% sure with the new upgrade.

Exactly. Which is why Gaelic Football dominates in the southern states.

Sorry I didn't realise you were talking about union

God forbid! With the possible exception of soccer, who the heck are the Union boys daring to call gay?

American footballers with all their protective gear? League players for playing a slightly less brutal version of their game (IMO)?

Exactly. I played League. I now play Union and for good reason. The ball is in play twice as long in a League game and the top tacklers make double the number a game than Union. The reason I now play Union at my age is that it is far easier physically. I wouldn't last 10 mins playing League at an OK level. League is the most physically demanding and brutal game. I have no issues with people preferring Union as a sport - personal preference and all - but the physicality isn't close.

Really? wouldn't have expected that, was a very unsourced comment obviously. I assumed because of the fact that union is more open (no stops like in league) that the quest to get the ball out made it more brutal. I was really just trying to make up excuses though, so sorry about that.

NFL players wear protective gear but that also allows them to effectively become plastic missiles - they can throw themselves with absolute abandon. Long term injury stats are pretty terrible for the sport.

A lot of NFL players have brain problems later in life, it's more about the look than the actual practicalities though. Rugby players throw themselves around without the gear while NFL players have **** covering their whole body, who sounds more brave?
It's pretty simple
Look up the number of internationally acclaimed/awarded Australians in virtually any pursuit and there are a truck load of them e.g. Cate Blanchett (one of a number of Academy Award winners), Geraldine Brooks (Pullitzer Prize winner), Sharon Davson (internationally acclaimed artist whose last painting sold for $5+ million), (Tetsuya Wakuda - one of the world's great chefs) etc etc etc
Then if you still believe that Australians have made no cultural contributions, there is nothing I or anyone else can say to change your mind
