Quote: nickcat0 "What I'd love, whether from League Express or on the tv from Boots N All is more technical analysis of the game.
I watch both codes of rugby. Having played Union at school and at club level as a young man, I understand the skills needed to turn a man in the tackle, position your body corrctly in a maul, to present the ball correctly in the ruck, the importance of footwork in the scrum etc etc. Yet when Barnes, Morris and Greenwood feature the sublime skills of McCaw at the breakdown, I often learn something new, and it adds to my appreciation.
I was a relative late comer to League,and I never received any coaching in it, so I often miss the complexities, but I enjoy the physicality of the game. However I'm sure my enjoyment would increase if "expert" analysis was made of the core skills in a RL game. It would add to my understanding and enjoyment.
Many RU fans dismiss League as being one dimensional, no contest for possession, just 5 drives and a grubber kick/ high bomb etc etc. Perhaps more explanation of the tactics and skills involved would lead to more converts like me, and help spread the game.'"
NRL Tactics did a great job of that sort of thing last year. Shame we could only watch it over here using nefarious means.
