INTRODUCING MY FRIENDS TO RUGBY Part 2 | Jamal Idris The Biggest Human Being In The World

[@Jimbrew]

Greg Inglis was 1 of the best . He totally changed the game when he came onto the scene

[@GodlyCarnage]

Yea I’d love to see a matty Bowen one. I reckon he’d love that.

[@Jimbrew]

@@GodlyCarnage I only just showed my daughter matty Bowen highlights yesterday

[@rexreid7615]

one of the most overated spoilt players to ever play the game.

[@Jimbrew]

@rexreid7615 I think Pearce takes that title, hands down

[@dom3335]

He was a great player and looks good in highlights, but the only thing he changed was making the NRL bring in the no shoulder charge rule with that disgusting hit on Dean Young. That would be a good reaction vid.

[@danielemerson312]

Idris was a physical phenomenon, but he was not always mentally focussed. There's a very good reason why he only played once for his state and once for Australia, and that's because he could switch off during a game and get caught out. As far as genuinely big players go, the current one to check out is Nelson Asofa-Solomona, who plays for the Melbourne Storm. In absolute terms of Rugby League players' size, the smallest professional player I know of was 4 foot 11 and the biggest was a full two feet taller.

[@tombates9122]

Who was 4'11?

[@danielemerson312]

@@tombates9122 There was a Papua New Guinean winger called Kini Tani who played a test match against Great Britain. The poor guy was tasked with marking Martin Offiah!

[@prussianpolydactyl836]

8:00 To sum up Idris' career: 136 games over 8 years, with 4 teams (Bulldogs, Titans, Panthers, Tigers). Just under half of those were with the Bulldogs. 41 tries over those games. Played 1 Origin game for NSW, 1 test match for Australia, as well as 3 for NSW Country in the City/Country game, and 2 for the Indigenous all Stars.

[@jasonvicary662]

Started at Canterbury Bulldogs then went to Gold Coast Titans, Penrith Panthers & West Tigers

[@mgreen1206]

Loved the reaction.. you have to react to Benji Marshall a west tigers legend plus a New Zealand representative player and captain..a legend of the game and a guy who changed the way rugby league was played..❤

[@BigDigAbbdog]

Loving these Rugby League reactions! Can't wait for you to learn about the Wests Tigers...

[@Richard1H65S]

The biggest rugby player we have seen in Aus is probably Jordan Mailata now at the Philadelphia Eagles.

[@rew1na]

If you want to watch great players, check out guys from this list (added brief description of their talent): Greg Inglis (Freak of Nature) Roger Tuivasa-Sheck (Ankle Bully) Sonny-Bill Williams (Hit Man) Benji Marshall (The o.g Shaun Johnson) Jarryd Hayne (Untouchable) Jonathan Thurston (Greatness Personified) Jason Taumalolo (Human Wreckingball) That’s just a few off the top, great players with great highlight packages. Look forward to the next video

[@wabisabi3619]

Yep, good list. It’s probably a bit hard to watch a Cam Smith highlights reel and understand just how good he was. I hate saying, cause I can’t stand him, but he’s probably one of the greatest players of all time.

[@splattered63]

He mainly played for Canterbury. Didn't always have his mind on the job but when he did. Wow.

[@Machetekills31]

In the green jersey he's playing for Australia vs New Zealand, injury took its toll as well

[@whatz4549]

When he was wearing the blue and white, he played for Canterbury bulldogs (the doggies) and that is a suburb in Sydney City South West of the Central Business district.

[@FieldPlug]

Greg Inglis, Benji Marshall, Jarryd Hayne and Ben Barba are some of the more exciting players from the early 2010s

[@AC-youtube6384]

Love these rugby league reactions!

[@michaellincoln3739]

Jamal Idris - The Flying Mountain. And off the field he is a gentle nice guy !

[@brentdavis3102]

Idris did play state of origin and represented Australia...But definitely not the biggest to play NRL size wise.

[@donaldduck2139]

this is rugby league, the players are generally shorter and lighter than say the forwards in rugby union. . . those commentators are just having fun about the biggest human ever...but you know that...

[@bodycountplays2915]

When you streaming next brah? Kinda wish your discord was more active too haha.

[@toksave8409]

Cantaberry Bulldogs most teams are in Sydney but different suburbs

[@dane1056]

Asking for the best player in Rugby League is hard to figure out. It would be better to ask for the most influential (wally Lewis, Andrew Johns, Johnathan Thurston, Cameron Smith). These guys were greats because of how they controlled a game but wouldn't necessarily have a huge highlight reel. Or ask for the most spectacular (Steve Matai, Greg Inglis, Shaun Johnson, Tony Williams, Ben Barba, kayln ponga) who are known for doingspurtz of brilliance

[@machinegunn698]

Idris is 6ft 4 at 115kg Will Skelton (Aus) is 6ft 8 at 140kg Emanual Meafou (Aus/France) is 6ft 8 at 144kg Richie Gray(Scot) 6ft 10 at 127kg Richard Metcalfe(Scot Ret.) 7ft at 140kg The biggest NFL player is D. Jones 6ft 8 at 168kg

[@danielemerson312]

Brandan Hill (Halifax, Bradford & Keighley) - a chunky 6 foot 10. Keighley, being semi-pro, couldn't afford custom kit, so they just gave Brendan a handful of shirts at the start of the season, and his granny cut them up into panels then sewed the results into something that would actually fit the big lad.

[@dane1056]

Look up Jordan Mailata. He played as a junior in the Australian Rugby League competition before taking the chance to try out for the NFL. He was huge.

[@tommyt4259]

State of origin is like to the "Probowl", difference is, origin here means alot and players arnt trying to avoid injuries rather play at even a higher level then for their club.

[@ggg-heufhehdh73]

up until 2014, bulldogs were stacked with some of the biggest forwards let alone backs

[@grantisshananaa4906]

Who the hell recommended Idris straight up lol of all the NRL players, this is the one?

[@viet5929]

The goat is Jonathan Thurston. The "quarter back" that can do anything, has won every awards.

[@CHILLVIBES_STUDIO437]

You should react to Justin olam the human brick next. A 5'10 beast, bit small for a rugby league player.

[@WakeUpToYourself]

Greg inglis was a beast 💪💪 indigenous Australian genetics

[@beizman9472]

Jamal was a really devastating player at a young age but then he started to put on more weight and that wasn't good for his knees. Actually happens a lot to freakishly fast big man in the NRL which is why they got to stay disciplined and keep the extra weight off their body.

[@ruapuia6712]

Haha enjoy watching you learn more about our game. Just for future reference brother, please try to refer to our game as League not rugby. Although Rugby & Rugby League have some similarities, the games are very different. Look forward to more reactions

[@mattb3554]

Jamal Idris went to my high school right before he started his professional career. I actually forgot about him until this video.

[@mungers88]

Great lakes college? He was the year below me

[@keithbrassington9377]

The Penrith Panthers have been dominant the last couple of years !

[@jikacemo]

People saying he average but he smashed all the hard hitters in the game

[@tongatau]

Greg ingles 💪🏾

[@dane9857]

He played for my team the bulldogs, he was very inconsistant and picked up a lot of injuries, had the talent but never reached the potential he had, he was also only 18-21yr old in most of these highlights

[@marchillyard199]

Canterbury bankstown

[@zippo_muk9254]

*Here’s a list of players by characteristic:* 1. Greg Inglis (tries, power, stiff arm) 2. Kalyn Ponga (agility, speed) 3. James Roberts (super speed) 4. Billy Slater (the goat fullback and current QLD coach) 5. Sam Burgess (big guy big hits) 6. Shaun JohnSon (agility and speed) 7. Josh Addo Carr (super speed) 8. Johnathan Thurston origin highlights (ball skills) 9. Darren Lockyer (ball skills) 10. Matt Gillet (solid player)

[@roamingkiwi9674]

Hey Ham I'll try offer some answers Jamal Idris only blessed the Feild for a few years His body was so big his body just couldn't hold up for the length of a season from what I remember it was on going hip problems that forced him to hang up the boots. he played for the Bulldogs, panthers, gold coast and also appeared for NSW and Australia... HE WAS A BOSS!!!! Just had a short Career and people have short memories as there are a lot of great players and plenty that don't see their full potential it is such a tough competition. What a lot of NFL fans don't realise and Jamal is the proof but giant body's don't have the endurance for the game or season. also, when he played teams had 12 interchanges/substitutions a game it is now down to 8 this rule was slowly introduced by going to 10 then 8 to reduce the playing weight of players as body's were getting destroyed hope this was insightful. Love seeing your enjoyment and passion for the game grow keep sharing the game would love to see usa get a league!

[@cooper5897]

Hard to say a best but I’d say my personal top 5: 1)billy slayer 2)Darren Lockyer 3) Johnny thirston 4)Greg inglis 5)jarred hayne Bonus:Lesley vainikolo or Jason Robinson

[@alexfielding5007]

You have to watch the Brisbane Broncos please they are a must watched side one of the best in the competition this year

[@paulo5297]

He did play in State of Origin

[@moneymanjoe9639]

The only reason some guys wear the head protection is because they have suffered a concusion and are forced to wear one. It also helps prevent cauliflower ear from the scrum. I played 1 year of rugby in HS and I caused a few concussions and broken bones.

[@michaellear6904]

This ISN'T rugby, it is Rugby League!

[@peterlinsley4287]

He played for Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs and the Penrith, both outer suburbs of Sydney. Poor old St George they are struggling at the moment, but in the 1950s they won 11 premiership in a row and were the most dominant team. Best player would have to be in the 50s Reg Gasnier (Puff the Magic Dragon). Best in the last 20 years would have to be Andrew (Joey) Johns.

[@Scottyo74]

I think you mean Penrith, not Perth. lol

[@peterlinsley4287]

@@Scottyo74 sure I typed in Penrith. Lol.

[@johnmceleney1092]

Just so u know - no one refers to Rugby League as Rugby The term Rugby is more referred to Rugby Union - which is a different game

[@jamesgreaves3035]

You need to check out greg inglis he was a once in a generation player and another 1 to check out is Jonathan thurston he's regarded as 1 of or the greatest of all time

[@knowEyeDeer]

To your statement about tackles, it's not about when the ref blows his whistle. If you listen (because you can hear the refs during the game) they yell "held" after a few seconds for a completed tackle where the ball carrier doesn't get tackled to the ground. That signals to the players that the tackle is completed and the defending team has about 3 or 4 seconds to allow the ball carrier to "play the ball". Same deal for when the tackle winds up with the players on the ground, you will hear something like "away" called from the ref informing the defence that they're expected to allow the ball carrier to play the ball in 3 to 4 seconds time. If the ref blows his whistle, it usually means one team or the other is getting a penalty for an infraction of the rules. Monster humans who are athletic are very great to watch in rugby league/union. Over the history of League in AU, there's been an evolution of what props, second rower's, and wingers body types are like. I'm a bit older now and remember back in the day how wingers have gotten bigger, and roles of front and second row forwards have somewhat changed. The game isn't as brutal as it used to be (rule changes to protect the players from unnecessary injuries), but it has become far more explosive and exciting because of those rule changes retaining the sports physicality. Also, by extension it gives the viewers more exposure to see these eleet players on the field because they now get hurt far more infrequently, and it's nice to know that when they do get hurt, it's no longer anything to do with malice 9 times outta 10. @GoHamm TV, state of origin (game 3 of 2023) is coming up and I for one would fkn love to watch you react to the entire game. You can either do the VPN thing to watch the game, or, it's broadcast on fox sports in the US, so you do have options in how to view the game if you really want to. I understand that you will edit the "reaction video" so that there's less "dead air" but I believe your reaction will be more realistic from the full match rather than reacting to the game highlights. But that's just my two cents worth. If that sounds like too much work, you could watch the entire game (live streaming with us) and later film a reaction to the game highlights, just to save a day's worth of video editing - which I'd completely understand. BTW, if you watch the entire game live, I will tune in to hear your reaction - I never listen to the commentators anyway, they're super annoying to me most of the time so I'd rather hear what you have to say. For me, that's double the entertainment and I WILL be there for it if it's something that you give us a couple of days notice about. We love it when people from other cultures discover one of the awesome things about ours and fall in love. There's not a better feeling to Aussies, we don't get a great deal of global interest and respect for our sporting culture with the glaring exception of the British who hate us because the only sport they invented in which they are actually better at than us is soccer. We pwn them at everything else (basically). Much love from Australia.

[@teillukashow]

He played for Australia. But you right state of origin the biggest rugby league game inda world

[@Fingabang]

You don't have to hold them down. A player is tackled when the ball or the forearm with the ball hits the ground with a tackler on him. If the tackler slips off before the ball or arm hit grass the player can keep going.. Referee calls "HELD" if the player is stopped and cant pass or go forward regardless of player going down or ball touching ground. Other players don't go jump on him after the tackle, that is UNION.. Once tackle is effected no other players can come in but until ref calls held or ball arm hits ground he is not tackled.

[@shimysekemp9685]

Rugby LEAGUE 🥰

Jamal was not dedicated. potential not realised.

[@bodycountplays2915]

Should upload your reaction to that body count song 🤣

[@bernardmatehaere9157]

Rugby Union is more of a Full Contact sport and Rugby League is more of a Full On Collision sport, but saying just ‘rugby’ is generalising, but saying Rugby Union, Rugby League we know where your coming from, IYKTYK, just a heads up. This week game to look out for would be on Friday 30th June Storm 3rd vs Panthers 1st…cheers mate.

[@gwilliams4674]

If you like big hits, you should see Jonah Lomu highlights :)

[@splattered63]

Oh the 'biggest human on the planet was a joke' - a famous commentator was exaggerating and it just sort of caught on as a gag. He was big but only about 6' 4-5".

[@darkmatter6714]

They call him “the biggest human” as a sort of alias/nickname. He is only 6”4’. Richard Metcalffe is 6”11.

GREG INGLIS next please. The greatest centre to play the game of rugby league.

[@wabisabi3619]

He was an above average player. However, he had issues with injury and mental health. In that reel you can see he is playing for Australia as well as being in the city v country which is representative football. They no longer do city v country but it was like an exhibition where you could price yourself to the NSW blues team selectors. Not wing selected by NSW could have been for multiple reasons, there may have been a better option in his position in terms of how they wanted the team to play, or someone with more experience in the role. From what I remember of him though, he would have flat patches of form and sometimes drift in and out of matches, basically go missing. He was also very young. Definitely well above average but also not a legendary player. If you want see the biggest player, look up ‘Big Nelson’… Nelson Asofa-Solomona
