I like Aussie rules. Don't quite understand it but still watch it sometimes.

Rugby League on the other hand is dull.

Yeah it's the blokeiest game in the world.

Firstly, it's played on a cricket pitch in the off-season - very practical.

As far as I remember you CANNOT be sent off, even for fighting.

The game seems to involve running directly at the other side and trying to jump into them to knee them in the face.

The guys are pretty bloody fit though, when you watch a game you realise how much ground they cover, quickly for a long time. And they are proper hard some of them, i used to watch it in brissy when i was working there, still no idea at all of the rules though !
EDIT: and it's called aerial ping pong

You're watching the wrong games.
