I have and it is. Referring to The Chair Makers comments in previous posts in relation to defensive attitude and game style it is a far more fluid game these days. Defense is far tougher, more balanced, agile and harder working. Far more thought goes into closing down agile attack and quick incisive play. No more five yard lines as well as fitter more drilled players closes down spats of thoughtful half back play. With the more drilled and agile defensive lines it takes more than something special from in play ball to break and this consequently has called for sharper skills in attack.
I think in this country compared to the N.R.L the only way we lag is in our production of half backs (maybe ) Some may say that has always been the case but with modern day tight defensive strategy I think this is something our youth system should be working on.
Did I ramble then? Forgive me, I don't sleep in this weather, atrophie and was an eskimo in a past life
