Quote: Dux "It was a painful weekend for SL, but one from which it can learn. Obviously there are plenty of deep-seated reasons why we have an inferior competition, and they're going to take a hell of a lot of working out to get right. But we can pick things up that will help to improve us. The thing that jumps out most obviously from this series is the way the NRL ballplayers have multiple options on pretty much every play, even when the play is a simple hit up. It's a pretty simple thing that we've obviously lost sight of in this competition, but it puts considerable pressure on defensive decision-making (pressure that our sides weren't able to withstand) and makes it very difficult for teams to commit numbers into tackles. If Saints can take a lesson from that and start running in twos and threes then the whole thing will have been worthwhile.'"
Totally agree.
If we want to grow as a sport then international fixtures are the way. With France being decades away from having a competitive league the only option open is Australia.
