The Toughest Trade

[Rimbaud82]

Good documentary series so it is...basically GAA players (gaelic football and hurling) swap places with professionals in other sports for a week. First episode of the second series has a hurler (Brendan Maher) train with a professional cricket team in Australia, and an ex england international (Stephen Harmison) tries hurling. I don't know much about cricket like, not sure if there are any fans on here either, but it was still good.

Next episode should be good too, they have one of the top gaelic footballers, Aidan O'Shea trying american football. I doubt he'll do that well to be honest, it's not like there is any similarity between the two sports really other than that both are tough, physical and involve catching. But it should be interesting nonetheless. They have an ex-NFL player called Roberto Wallace playing gaelic football.





For the last season they had the GAA lads swap places with a former baseball player Brian Schneider and former soccer player David Bentley. You can watch that here if you fancy it.



I'm always interested in stuff like this.

Yeah would like to see more like this with NFL training NRL and AFL trying Rugby Union.

Would love to see some of the NFL RB/WR train NRL/Union.

Don't know if most NFL forwards could do well in NRL as it different type of cardio. Less strength in NRL but more cardio needed, getting back 10 metres would be the death

For Dodger fans apparently it's Corey Seagar for Mike Trout LMFAO!

Always wonder what a game would look like if you take the best parts of Rugby Union and League and mix it up with American and Canadian Football...hey even throw in some Aussie Rules.

But it seems not many are interested, which is a shame...it's a really good doc. Aidan did pretty well for a weeks training I thought.

Still think Cummins would have done great at baseball, if give a try.

Most of the poster on this forum are oblivious of sport outside North America (apart from Succer/Futball).
