| Is it just me, or is it getting ridiculous now.
Im finding it very frustrating, and to be honest boring.
The game has no flow.
It probably hinders saints play more than anyone but im finding it in every game now no matter who is playing.
I hope this gets sorted soon

Nope. The game flows far better than it used to in the 80's and 90's.
What is getting ridiculous is the need to see huge basketball like scorelines and if there isn't 90 odd points scored in a game it must a. be boring and b. need a rule change.

From out my back garden
You've tarmacked my driveway
Even though I said no
You've nicked my lead flashing
And weighed it in at the scrappy
Oh St Helen's tatters

| Its so slow now, all the defences get back have a few seconds breather, then its 5 drives, then a kick down field.
Half backs have no space or time to work any skills so they resort to a short kick to the line or a kick over to a stranded winger.
If you look at all the highlights of the games 70% are the results of kicks and not skilful plays from the backs.
Even the long range trys are the result of short kicks gone wrong and the defense pick up the ball and run the length of the field with no one to beat.

That says more about your team than the opponents laying on.
A quick tap is only achieved if the player lands on his knees and elbows and therefore is quick to get up and play the ball. If your team are not teaching that then there is a problem.

Right, so this therefore increases the need for the 6/7/9 to [ishow some skill[/i. It's what they get paid for.
Funny how it's Saints fans who are complaining..........

There is very little opportunity for half backs to show any skills and No 9 has already been negated at the slow play the ball.
We need fast open rugby to attract supporters to the game not an impersonation of "Rugby Union" without the throw ins.

Ok then. Trawl back through this board and find the main reason that GB/England have struggled against the Aussies for years. You might well be surprised

Don,t go back into the past think of the future. The aussies have cleaned up the play the ball area there game is more open and quicker. There backs are reaping the benefits, the matches are higher scoring.
While we resort to slow, pedantic, sterile plays.
Come end of the year we are going to get murdered by the aussies.

That'd be a quick play the ball, not a quick tap.

| Didn't we start allowing this so we could be Australia the one/two time a year we play them? Meanwhile it reduces the quality of the 30 or so other games most fans have an interest in a year.

Can you be a bit more specific.

| The ultra-quick PTB is one of the factors that's been cited as contributing to the decline in the quality of half back play, where scoots from acting halfback can be used to make easy yards. When England play under the NRL-style rules which allowed longer holding of the tackled player, they looked clueless in attack.
TBH this is one of those strange issues where the quality of the game is lower with a quick PTB but the entertainment factor is higher in average games. I'd seriously question whether that is true at the best games though.
