Does the Legends Football League Australia have the same rules as the NFL? Are there any key differences?

Bad luck to the 49ers today. I thought they were going to pull it off. I did have a brainwave regarding the rules today. After the interception Seattle were penalised for taunting. They lost 5-10 yards? It didn't matter the game was over. In that situation I would like to see the 49ers get the ball back. That would really penalise the Seahawks.

There were a few crucial missed calls such as the contact on the kicker and strip by Bowman who broke his knee.

I like how the Niners have taken the high-road approach to these 'missed calls' by taking ownership of the loss. From my POV, going back to blown call in New Orleans which cost us that game, we should have won the NFC West with home field advantage throughout the playoffs. It's all said and done now though and I'm grateful for the season we just had.

Hmmm... not familiar with this league Do you mean the Lingerie League or is that what they're calling it?

That's exactly what's happened. They have taken the lace and garters away. I guess they are going for a more mainstream approach. I hate how sports like that and the UFC are pigeon-holed by close minded morons who haven't seen 1 second of action. The girls that play in the LFL are surprisingly tough and athletic. I wouldn't want to be on the bad side of Liz Gorman.

There are some differences to the rules mainly for the players safety as less padding is worn and to make the game more free flowing.

Thanks for clarifying Bartrim. Sounds like it will go the way of the XFL and USFL. I'll stick to the pros.

NRL starting this Thursday. Anyone playing NRL Fantasy? (the official game on nrl.com). I'm only playing that this year after playing three different ones last year.

I'm sticking with the news/telegraph/courier one only because it rewards attacking play a bit more than the NRL one.

Makes more matches interesting as you almost always have a player to barrack for!

Round 1 and two are always wrote offs it's too hard to gauge form based on trials or even the 9's
