Should nrl wingers learn the afl marking/catching techniques?

Question

???????

Answer 1

In my opinion it would help alot

and i agree that try by Isreal Folau was awesome

but Im not really on one side or another but AFL players do handle the ball much better than the NRL players.

Wouldnt it also be a great idea to get  a 5/8th to kick like an afl player aswell you would have the ultimate backline

other than the maroons backline which was awesome.

Answer 3

I think melbourne are already doing that.

afl could learn how to tackle from us though

Answer 4

After seeing Israel Falou's try I'd say the question should be 'should AFL players learn how to mark/catch a ball like NRL wingers'.  I'm an AFL fan by the way but that was just awesome.

Answer 5

definitely man, buh at the same time players would have to be freakishly gifted like folau to pull it off...coz in AFL u can catch that ball and its a 'mark' so people leave you alone right? in NRL? Folau caught that ball and was near manhandled by Cooper in a tackle, it just took some impressive talent to plant the ball....i think you could really get hurt trying to play AFL in an NRL game...

also...AFL players have better hands than NRL players? Is that why AFL players knock the ball on constantly and then run around like little chickens trying to find the little bird seed? HAHAHA i would take that silly comment back:P

Answer 6

If they do, there would be some hectic tries being scored like Isreal Folau's try during State of Origin III in Sydney. They would also learn some better techniques on how to catch the ball.
