I know all the focus is on the alleged tackling techinque being 'not in the spirit of the game' (M.Potter-post Good Fri game) ... but what has been failed to be mentioned is that we have scored 40 more points than the nearest team Warrington & 61 more than the so called Entertainers Saints ...
Team P W D L F A PTS
1 Wigan 10 9 0 1 350 128 18
2 Warrington 10 8 0 2 310 124 16
3 St Helens 10 7 0 3 289 184 14

Should coaches not stop whinging on about us 'strangling' the game & concentrate on how to stop us in attack?? |

I mean for the game - all im saying IMO, i would prefer to watch a game with a faster ptb, than what we have got this season. The fact that Wigan are currently the best side at this new development is irrelevant, i'd say the same if it was Wakey who were the best (although just maybe not as much ![]()
what was reason you got beat today ?
to fast a play the ball ?

Some of the best matches i've ever seen in my life were the low scoring (5-4 for example) games back before the 10 metre rule. The fast play the ball quick scoot for easy metres bored the living crap out of me. As has been stated lots of times, we're mainly slowing the play the ball down by controlling the tackle (therefore not actually slowing the play the ball down, merely making the man have to get up off his back or side). I admire and am entertained just as much by good defence as I am by rolling the ball forward, infact the attack that entertains me the most is the sublimely timed pass to a deep runner, or quick ball through hands outwide to unlock a tight defence.
Simply making soft metres by being able to play the ball against a defence that's still backtracking bores me silly, and gets us nowhere in developing the game (as demonstrated by our total inability to use that style of play against the ockers).

Slowing the play of the ball down forces teams and their players to find more skilled ways of breaking down defences instead of just waltzing through gaps.
Players like McGuire, Burrow, Robinson, Roby. Higham etc had it all too easy for too long and their careers stalled as defences got better because they hadn't developed their other skills enough to still be a threat. Guys like Eastmond and Tomkins are becoming more rounded players because they're being tested and they have to work hard and try all options to break down defences.
Kears comments were pathetic tbh. His bottom lip was going when I saw the interview on Sky and i'd have expected better from a coach i've always regarded as pretty honest and decent.

Well Mr Kear, hope it was an electric atmosphere at your ground yesterday with your 4,671 crowd, hope the Crusaders didn't strangle the life out of your team winning the game, hope it wasn't like watching paint dry at the Cathedral of Rugby League, Belle View, mind you it could do with a lick of paint, ( quick drying )
