Hear me do singing: www.myspace.com/duggansounds:



Quote: Dunbar "
Saints have been by some distance the best attacking side in the country for the last decade but that has been based primarily on a fast play the ball and the go forward of Cunningham, Roby et al '"


That's only in the last couple of seasons, we used to have pacey, skilful backs who could unlock any defence whether it was set or not. Some of the moves we put together in the Millward era were simply breathtaking. We also sometimes got 70 put on us.

Huddersfield's defense is all about their line speed, not really their dominance of the ruck.

And they have plenty of attacking flair. On Sunday they scored a try kicking on 1st tackle and by dummying and running on the last tackle. hardly indicative of a boring rigid team?

Agree entirely, they remind me of the 06 Saints when a big pack meant the team never lost the energy battle and could defend with huge intensity.

When we played them at Headingley our fans where whining that they were constantly offside. They weren't. They were just up and in our faces very, very quickly.

There are ways for an attack to combat that and Sean Long highlighted that when questioned from the stands.

Quote: Code13 "No it wasnt, it was his usual complete, bull£$% gibberish trolling with little or no fact in it what soever.

In the past Huddersfield have employed coaches with a massive, massive pedigree and they have failed utterly to get the team even looking like a team

Brown may not have the best record in the NRL, so what, he (and Tony Smith) went through the most rigerous interview process ever used by RL clubs (some very successeful NRL coaches refused to take part) with the single intention of finding a coach with the right attitude, aptidude and ability to take Huddersfield forward.

Tony Smith has since gone on to be one of the best coaches in SL, and Brown is following in his footsteps.

That says to me not so much that the NRL is so much better, but that the right person for the right job is absolutely critical, more than any past record.

John Sharp built on the team and ethos created by Tony Smith and Brown has taken that further, just like all coaches at all clubs (TS would have stayed with th giants if Davy could have given him the budget he wanted)'"


There is an awful lot of artificial slowing of the play the ball this year, it's not even good technique.
No I dont want the 'saints scoot' back but teams could do with learning to tackle efficiently.
The amount of flops this year is absolutely ridiculous
