Quote: morleys_deckchair "When i was a kid, the first game of RL i ever got to see was a Widnes one (as my grandad used to play for them).
It was Bradford northern at naughton park, in horrible mud... tony myler chipped the ball over a scrum as soon as the ball had come out, ran around.. caught it... flicked an inside pass to Alan Tait, who then flicked it to Offiah, who ran a long arc around the poor fullback, who knew less than me as to what was going on infront of him.
i had never seen anything like it and i was hooked.
i wonder what the youngsters of today have to watch and get excited about.'"
Well it isn't yardage, holding down in the tackle, percentage plays for sure. Mind you I hear the home attendance is up 25% this year so maybe they do.
