Wigan just ran a set from their own 20 which included all of two passes in the entire set after the dummy half pass. No runner looked to offload and all looked only to get down and play the ball, then Wigan kicked. Were they looking to score on that set?

So now Clarky is saying offload, make your mind up

Building pressure is secondary to scoring, if you can't score at least keep the opposition defending and attacking in their own half.

Egggsactly, RL is a very simple game, no need for overcomplication

And Wigan were leading by how many?

The point was that Mr Clarke suggested last night that a team losing by 2 scores should not ' Prioritise ' scoring, complete bollox

Come on Phil, less bollox about discipline, just say what you mean, Bailey is a knob

Earlier you said (Australia) "they will try to score every time they have the ball, simple as"
Are you adding a criteria of the match score now that might change this approach? Or should the approach of Australia or Wigan be specifically unique?

It matters not, the Aussies dont need to follow normal rules, they'll score most of the time

Anyway you like Clarky were wrong, as I said building pressure and field position is a by product of failing to score

No, they won't score most of the time.
They'll look after field position.
They'll build pressure.




Oh well......now you have actually said it twice, you must be right.

So let me get this right - Starbug has no comprehension of one of the absolute fundamental things about creating try-scoring opportunities in Rugby League?

Seems that way. Odd that such a keen RL fan doesn't actually understand the game.

If teams are trying to score off every set, why are there so many kicks for territory/field position?

If I had a penny for every time I've heard the phrase "f*ck's sake lads, we don't need to score off every set", I'd have at least £10.

Starbug is an armchair Wigan fan....ignore him.

We stopped playing unlimited tackles decades ago.

Last night was one of those games where I wanted both to lose

Teams kick for territory/field position when they have failed to make a break/find a gap in the opposition defence, but every set starts with an attempt to score, it really is that simple
