Quote: BrisbaneRhino "To be fair they've tried to fix the simplest thing wrong with SL - the over-reliance on quick PTB to ensure huge yardage from dummy half (and to have a cat in hell's chance of creating a try without a kick or simple missed tackle). Over time getting rid of this as the major means of attack will lead to improvements in attacking play, but it will take time and the balance cannot be skewed too far in favour of the defence. From what I've seen the game looks marginally slower, but you can still get quick PTB, so I'm not entirely sure this is as big a change as some make out.

will it?
will it not lead to more 5 drives and a kick as more set defences with more time to take a breather and mess about at the PTB will lead to fewer breaks and fewer risks taken as fewer of them will result in tries, so we swap great attacking risky plays, for 5 drives and a kick hoping for a mistake or a chance to put on a kick play,
wouldnt we have been better to let the game naturally find an answer to the quick ptb? whereby a defensive side would innovate and find themselves rewarded by this, with the other sides then needing to find a way to innovate attacking wise against this
that seems a much better way than simply pretending the quick ptb doesnt exist,
the PTB last night was turgidly slow with flops and laying on from both sides,
