Jordan Mailata picked in the NFL draft never having played gridiron

Philly Eagles

2m tall. 160 kg, 40 yard dash in 5.12 seconds

Now Rugby League players are big usually, but he makes it look like he is playing Rugby in lilliput ( thats a gullivers travels reference for those that have never read a book - a guy travels to a far off land with all little people)

 

He'll sit on the bench like all Australian players have done before unless he kicks a ball, or unless you're Adam Gotsis on my Broncos roster.

Nah, wont go the same as Hayne, Hayne is a douche

And this guy is friggin huge

 

Hayne had to run away because or a rape allegation.
I was in America when he got the flick. It happened the same day Jeff Gordon won at Martinsville which I got to be there for, along with the same night the Broncos beat the Packers. Bronco win, Gordon win and a Hayne getting the axe best day ever! Oh and ribs. Smokey Bones pub in Roanoke VA!

 

i don't think i ever read gulliver's travels (that may not be true, but it would have been a long time ago), but it's still a well known reference because it's a pretty famous pop culture thing, and i think there were several kids' movies of it.

what position is he supposed to be playing? the video makes him look like a potential running back, but isn't 5.12 40 time more like an offensive guard?

 

I'd say his size fits for a receiving TE or possibly Fullback.

 

yeah, i could see him at fullback. maybe TE, but he still seems kind of slow for that.

 

One has to be passionate about their sport. If he loves the game, maybe. He just better cheat on that bitch rugby. Speaking of which, if there is ever a girl named Rugby I would have the hugest crush on her. What a cute name.

 

Rugby league is different to rugby. He played rugby league.

 

so rugby league is where they play rugby while wearing those little spandex short-shorts that volleyball players wear?

 

Does it matter? You are not going to give a shit about the difference.

I will watch the superbowl, and if this mailata gets anywhere I will follow a few games, but all the stop / starting in gridiron gives me the shits

I like Rugby the most, more so than Rugby league ( the main difference is less scrums in RL) the guys are usually bigger so it looks scarier, but theres a lot of stop starting with full teams. so Rugby 7s even more interesting, but that only means something during the Olympics

 

not really, i honestly have no idea what the difference is between the two. this is the first i heard that there even was a difference. i was just taking the opportunity to make fun of their girly little shorts

 

Aussie Rules is the girly one, the ballet looking one, i hate that, its so dumb

 

Rugby league is 6 tackles and then you have to kick. Sort of like NFL but not really. You have 6 tackles to make ground. If you get tackled on the 6th tackle it's a turn over, so like NFL it's best to kick it to the other end. The defense also has to get 10m/8yards back.

Rugby union is infinite amount of tackles and the defense stands on the line like a NFL scrimmage.

 

Well, looks like he is going to make the Eagles final roster. Announcement Sunday morning

 

They’re just copying the New England Patriots who allowed their DB Nate Ebner to play for the United States Rugby team in the Olympics.
