Celebrating 25 years service to the Rugby League Community! |
| Quote: Mugwump "Sure, and rugby league can be broken down solely to indivisible units such as "running", "passing" and "tackling". Are you the kind of coach who offers pearls of wisdom from the sidelines such as [i"get it out wide!"?[/i'" Rugby league very much can be broken down to skills in "running" "Passing" and tackling" I'm a fairly technical coach (particularly on carry technique, passing, offload skills, and the play the ball) and also fairly strong on lifestyle and how a player should approach training and games. Not that it's relevant to this discussion. Quote: Mugwump "Are you so dense as to think people fifty years ago didn't think [iseriously[/i about the game? There weren't outstanding coaches with brilliant tactical minds? There weren't players who didn't spend all their time thinking about how they could gain a competitive advantage over the other guy?'" Bit dissapointing but not suprising you're reverting to personal insults now. Not sure why you would think I think "people fifty years ago didn't think [iseriously[/i about the game? There weren't outstanding coaches with brilliant tactical minds? There weren't players who didn't spend all their time thinking about how they could gain a competitive advantage over the other guy?" Why you would think I think that, I have no idea at all. Quote: Mugwump "And "obsolete" skills aren't so by any objective measure. This isn't science.'" There is a significant element of science to all sport. I'm yet to see you point to any current skill that the old days saw repeatedly better executed BTW.

Back in the 70s when I started watching the game the players were far less well drilled than they are nowadays. Their decision making, as judged by the probability of succeeding with what they were attempting to do, was atrocious compared to modern players. Their levels of fitness were far lower. But the lack of orthodoxy back then led to far greater unpredictability and very occasional brilliance. Much more so than today's game, at least in my book.
