NRL stars the new target of NFL Scouts

I found this really funny, the one skill AFL players are meant to have over the NRL boys and professional scouts are telling the whole NFL otherwise. The one use of the AFL to the outside world has just been destroyed Also the fact that Cory Paterson can get an offer to become a kicker from 3 different NFL teams is just classic

Off the top of my head it was San Francisco, Oakland and someone else who offered the contract but he would be quite handy on kick offs in defence lol

Guess they're trying to save them from the boring sport that is known as Rugby League.

I think one factor that leads them in the change of recruiting is that the NRL players are even more likely to make a tackle on punts or kick offs as the AFL players, the non aussies are TERRIBLE at tackling
