Myler's main problem is that he's tried to a number 1 playmaker, he was more Maguire than Briers, should have stayed that way. I think he has gotten a lot better defensively, I think he'd be an amazing hooker.

I loved how Brian Johnson would effortlessly arch passed defences with his long stride gliding runs.
His pace was so deceiving.

Danny Lima ran from deep, doens't make it right.

The concept is that a ball player has multiple options. The days of a prop forward sprinting out of the line to plant one on a half back are behind us, therefore the spaces don't open up for the inside pass/scissors as much. Yes they do present themselves with a lazy defender and or a poor defensive read, but the game is far more advanced, and structured than that, like it or not. The hours spent on video analysis to work out a defensive 'shape' dictates that it's harder to make a break.

Wigan score more tries than most, typically because their process is stronger. The lead runner and the sweep behind is a number manipulation move, trying to draw a bad read from a defender, so halves don't necessarily break down defences much any more, simply hold on for a defender to do something wrong.

I loved the old days of a nimble scrum half jinking past a couple of forward and picking out a runner, but it's just not today's game.

probably skunk anansie's best song that one.

Stoosh was an outstanding album. Really liked Weep as well as Hedonism. It didn't appear on that album, but Search and Destroy was also brilliant.

You're wasted here
