Quote: Super Alf Macklin "Last night v Wigan is a prime example of why my enthusiasm for RL has gone. Two teams devoid of flair, which is true of nearly all SL teams now.'"
Got to agree, if I am watching a Sky match I often turn over to another channel, for years we called Union kick & clap, now we are no better in fact other than the ruck you can see better tries scored in Union in many games. For too long we have been fed we are the Greatest Sport or Game but that is not completely true. Scrums are a joke, there is so much time wasted, water carriers are on the pitch more than some of the forwards at times,
I don't think many of the match officials help, those men who run up and down the line with a flag how they miss so many incidents is beyond me, I worry if they afraid of getting it wrong? then some referees want to be the best mate of the players, then some want to be the star, get sick of the shouting from them on TV.
