Not an unfair opinion wirequin. There was more noise the last time I was at a Quins game in 2009, than in a lot of NRL games I've been to.

I must admit to having enjoyed a beer from a beer hut sat on a grass bank watching the under XX's, reserves and then the main game

As I say no atmosphere at all though.

To justify my point on the game quality it has been said by numerous Aussie players in UK that we try to score every time we have the ball, where as the Aussies build over several sets-To build over several sets you would tend, I suspect to play a conservative style of play followed by a long kick followed by an emphasis on defence to stop the return set-repeat, repeat hence the boring game

Your opinion and I will respect it.

Trying to score every single play is something that is thrown out the door by the time you are 15. It often leads to high error counts and can be counter-productive to your goal of scoring.

I'd rather watch high quality footy where momentum is built, leading to some classy plays to score then watching some headless chooks throw the ball around trying to score on every play.

Maybe this is why England is trounced by the Aussies regularly? Men playing Boys (Game plan wise).

Hindy I agree with you-There is no doubt that the UK game will go towards the build pressure approach. I must admit I do enjoy the UK game for the cavalier approach - I believe the season before last Saints and Leeds had the most errors over the season which is incredible given they were the 1 & 2 teams. I doubt these stats would be mirrored in Australia

I couldnt disagree with you more. The Australian style is endlessly more entertaining as they are in control of everything they execute, whereas we are way too cavalier and unstructured, which I find irritating not entertaining. Until we learn to respect posession and take chances when they are presented (ie not trying to score every time we have the ball) we will never dominate international RL. The players are fine but our game is not.
