Hockey Fan Reacts To Russell Crowe Explaining The Rules and Laws of Rugby League | NRL 

Gday Bro. As an Aussie who has watched NRL all my life. I give you props, you got the game 100% mate!

I'm glad you spoke about where the conversion was taken....

Another common rule is if you tackle someone, the defence has to retreat 10 meters in line with the referee otherwise you will be offside and be penalised.

Hey! As a Canadian in New Zealand I’ve been watching rugby league from 2008. I just love the fast pace the game is played. Kinda reminds me of hockey in some respects where you have to think on the fly. My favourite team iothe Rabbitohs because of their history and fast paced play. Also their team colours are from the traditionally poor area where they are situated. They had to hunt wild rabbits for food and the green represents the grass and the red represents the blood of the rabbit that gave its life. Hope that kinda helps

This video was perfect. You should commentate on the games. Some Australian Podcasters like Hello Sport do this on RU-vid, but don’t show the game and it works really well. You commentate, the viewer listens to you and simultaneously watches the game. It would great to hear the view point of the target market as you are taking in the game for first few times. Your understanding of why they kicked behind the defence was perfect, you obviously have a good strategic mind and could apply that to watching Rugby League (the greatest game of all). I am going to subscribe to you solely because you did such a good review clip.

I’m glad you enjoyed the video about the nrl rules well articulated by Russel Crowe

Nailed that mate, good work.

hey bro, there's actually 5 players on the bench, the 18th man is cover for the 17 whose playing he comes into play when a foul happens from the opposition where he injures your player and your player gets ruled out for the rest of the game that activates the 18th man.. there are plenty of rules to be learnt, rugby league is the best game on EARTH and easy to follow if you learn it proper

Sick react video. Well done!

4 for a try then add 2 for conversion total 6 points

Awesome to see a you watching and learning about one of our (and my favourite) sports here is Australia! And go the Jets :) !

One thing they didn’t mention in the video are penalties and the possible punishments of foul play As you saw in the video of the tackle count restarting if a infringement such as tackling too long Penalty’s : However striping the ball off an attacker with more then 1 person or high tackle or foul play etc will result in a penalty if one occurs the team who received the penalty has 3 options 1. As you saw in the video a penalty goal which is worth 2 points and is kicked where the penalty was called 2. Kick for touch: where the penalty was done the team with the ball can kick for the sideline (into touch) and gain metres upwards of the field to gain free territory you pass the ball from the sideline about 20m in feild tap the ball with your foot and play on 3. Tap: if a team is possibly too close to go for kick for touch or don’t want to go for goal for 2 points they can simply tap the ball on the boot and start play again. Punishment : if an infringement or penalty’s occurs repetitively, or is done in a serious or forceful way that could cause injury 3 things could happen 1. They will be placed on report which the referee will signal a X which they can remain to play however it will be reviewed in the future and could loose game time 2. The sin bin: if the referee believes it was dangerous and doesn’t need review and must be punished the referee will signal 10 fingers in the air 🙌 which means you will be on the sideline and will not play for 10 minutes and leave your team with 12 players on the field instead of 13 which is a great advantage to the other team. 3. Send off : the most highest punishment in the nrl is the send off which the referee will signal a finger and point him off the field which means he will not return for the rest of the game which will leave the team with 12 players instead of 13 for the remainder of the game. Hope this helped let me know if I got anything wrong here

Great reaction Bro

One of the best things about rugby is that it is truly a team game even players who are not actively supporting the player with the ball have to move into place to be a potential threat forcing their opponents to constantly adapt or leave openings. The team which can pressure their opponents into a weakened formation see the opportunity and as a team switch the direction of their attack quickest will dominate the game. It requires not just physical skills but a high degree of situational awareness and coordination from every player to make a good team. This is what makes the game so fast paced and exciting to watch.

Gonna be watching the NRL in vegas! Can’t wait

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ New subscriber!👍🏻 Best regards WMH Team - Australia 🇦🇺

You need to watch. And plsss tell as many people as possible to watch. This will be a very hystorycal moment.

Can't wait 🎉🎉🎉🎉

The conversion goal is taken in line with where the try is grounded. Sometimes it can be almost in the sideline because the try was grounded just inside the corner. So the skill needed to kick those goals is far greater than for NFL, who only ever take their kicks from directly in front of the goal posts.

There are two matches being played inLas Vegas. South Sydney Rabbitohs v Manly Sea Eagles on first and Brisbane Broncos v Sydney Roosters. The Broncos are my team, and if you weren’t aware, were Grand Finalists last year. So yourself a favour and watch that match in its entirety. They are a very entertaining team to watch

hope you caught the Canada Wolverines vs USA Hawks RL international test on 1 March as well; also, if you're TO then get to a Wolfpack game at Lamport

There is actually 2 games on the day…. So 4 NRL teams are in Vegas.

G'day Eamonn...just so you kow. The team playing in the Red & Green jersey are the Souths Sydney Rabbitohs. Established in 1908 and the club that has won the most premierships since then currently sitting on 21 A Grade titles. The most of any other Rugby League team in the competition. The filthy Roosters (Red White and Blue colours, copied from the French), also established in 1908 have only won it 15 times. For the Roosters are forever in Souths shadow. Thought you might lie to know that. Cheers

Goal kickers in rugby league are used to kicking goals from wide, difficult angles and distances.

There's 2 games back to back. It's a double header!

the games will be live on fox sports 1 in the US.

USA vs Canada this week @ Vegas!

most tries are scored wide for the simple reason the centre is strongly defended

I believe the Vegas thing is purely aimed at betting. Trying to build rugby league - and btw, it is not "rugby" but rugby league - as a form of sports betting in the USA.

Actually two games played on Fox 1

Also cannot tackle a player in midair, no attacking legs of kicker, no shoulder charge. The game may seem short but it is 40min no breaks, no team change. After watching Super Bowl that took 5 hrs or so is too long.

Toronto have a team that played in the UK Super League.

There’s a lot of rules the left out cause it gets really complicated for new viewers

2 x games in Vegas It’s League not Rugby

There is also a 40/20 kick not mentioned in this video

Couldn't hear anything turn sound up

Just hope crowe doesnt punch anyone while he is over there

Been to Australia, saw league. It was ok but AFL is a whole new level. Best game in the world.

You did check audio levels prior to posting this yeah?

As TV entertainment goes ,a fact that isnt often acknowledged is that American football have thrown away the most fundamental entertainment value of seeing emotion on the face of players. In Rugby, soccer ,AFL and League , we get to see the anger, the exhilaration ,the despair , and all the emotions that come with intense sporting competition. Why ? No helmets. In the NFL there is never any emotion caught in the moment of action because we cant see their faces. At best its a couple of seconds later and its in the faces of the fans,the coaches, the players on the benches. Everywhere but on the field. What a lost opportunity.

I doubt many Aussie's will travel to Seppoland for these games. The tickets are too expensive in Australia to go to a game let alone traveling to the US to watch it. I actually believe that the NRL have done the wrong thing & it'll be a waste of money taking 2 games over there. We don't care about NFL & Seppo's don't care about our sports. We're practically the best in the world in most sports except for Union but the Seppo's wouldn't know that coz they don't look beyond their borders

Far-out your that cooking shows guys son.

You mean league not rugby. 2 different games. Russell Crowe owns one of the teams that will be playing, south sydney. Its the first games of the season so none of the teams will be in top form

well, it's more about the hand in hand high market selling from.... pay to watch in prime, the online betting, and the online sms phone use/connecting fees US market of hundreds of millions of "men" dudes invested in being entertained and make money on the side "like play the odds" predicting teams and players performance of the day, just like any team sports clashes.... league is great with ideal to this this kind of simplicity of fewer players. lesser complexity and fewer odds to base in how the clashes will turn up just straight on play which makes it better in terms of betting on a game winner..... it's invested in being entertained and make money on the side..... either that or we aussie's just want to rub on the face of entitled feminist and the woking infiltration of sport of trying to make an lgbtq shit of all sensitive men's sports..... so reclaiming the men in us, better than punch hitting a brick wall just to regain our toxic manliness as they say....

Please don’t call it Rugby like most of Americans do as there are 2 different codes of football.. Rugby Union which is know as Rugby and is played at Ivy League, colleges etc.. and this one Rugby League known as League .. they are 2 different styles of football all up Australia has 3 codes of Football Union, League and our Aussie rules code which is our very own game of football and when you count soccer we have 4 codes. 😊🇦🇺

Everything is great until they see the scrum and second row feeds

You really have to do something about your audio levels, way too low.

Could not hear a thing>>>

Too quiet

Nobody ever tries to explain the Rugby League scrum....that's because they're a stupid joke.

just subbed from australia, thanks for checking out one of our sports, how about trying another, australian rules football - afl, i'm sure you'll love it

lol i think north americans are trolling us . league not rugby... just like volleyball isnt basketball :P

The only thing dude is your mic is mega low need to turn that shit up a bit
