Quote: donkey O'tay "Bottom line for me is this...
Allowing this long lay on, which Hudds are really good at but all teams do, is spoiling the game. I don't want rugby league to go this way. It's boring as hell.
I swear I heard snorring coming from some of the rucks where Hudds were laying on last Saturday.
I'm not saying it's cheating or illegal, it's just rubbish rugby league that's all, and I certainly don't want my team to rely on it as much as Hudds do.'"
Bottom line is, Saints were better at slowing the play the ball down last week! I find it boring as hell when the tackled player gets up as soon as they are tackled and catch the opposition off side all the time. Penalties all the time are boring as hell. Slowing the play the ball challeges the attacking side to break through with more skill and guile and makes it a much more even contest and far more entertaining games. How anyone could have been bored by last Saturdays game is beyond me as a Rugby League fan. A close, tight contest with players having to earn the yards and the result still in doubt until the last 10 minutes. Sounds ok to me but I guess Saints fans are used to seeing their side win by 30 points and scoring 7-8 tries a game. Well sorry, Super League is tougher than that now.
