Quote: saints35 bulls0 "The game has changed completely. no disrespect to the guys who played 30 years ago, but the athletic requirements of players at the top level now are completely different.
we are probably producing the same number of world class players we did in the past - we have never had a team of 1-13 world class superstars.

The game has moved on, but the core skills of a good RL player haven't changed that much, you still needed to be able to kick, and pass accuratly, to know how to run a good line, know how to offload in the tackle, but for some reason even our top players are lacking in this department.
