And why would that be a bad idea?

But Wane is no longer here and thats exactly why we need Skerrett to bring back the biff!

The game has become too sterile for my liking. Going to central park on a cold Sunday in winter with the prospect of seeing a right good old fashioned scrap was part of the fun. I was there that day against Salford when Skerrett flew into the middle of a brawl and then afterwards we took great delight in goading Ian Blease whilst he was sat in the dug out.

That was against Featherstone when Skerrett when flying over the top and Platt got sent off

I think we should just go down King street this Friday and pick the guy who is the best scrapper to coach the forwards.

If that's what we're after, just sign Jamie Acton.

You're right it was, im thinking of a brawl V Salford that same season. I was there both times.

remember that one well, i was sat on the wall about 10 yard away when super Kel set off.

Bring back the biff and have all our forward pack suspended after being sent off for throwing unnecessary punches and starting unnecessary scraps? I know Christmas is a time when alcohol consumption is at its peak but blimey you need to calm down.

I’d rather we were aggressive, assertive and dominant the proper way and kept all 13men on the field. That’s how we’ve won 4 Grand Finals since 2010, not this basic thuggery you seem to be calling for. Why not sign Jamie Acton back up? Bring Ryan Bailey in whilst we’re at it. Those are the type of players your calling for our props to become.

Why do you think crowds are dwindling? People want excitement not a boring sterile game. The game is missing bruisers like Skerrett. This is a tough game not tiddly winks. Watch an 80/90s game and tell me that isnt more exciting than most of todays bore fests. Listen to the crowd when theres is a scuffle, the whole stadium lifts and so do the players. Whilst we are at it, bring back the shoulder charge then we can see some proper big hits. If we carry on the way we are, we will be playing tick rugby.

I agree there. Game is duller because the buffs gone.

Nostalgia isn't as gpod as it used to be.

Indeed. "Bring back the biff" is a longing for a mythical past that never really existed. Which seems to be a trend these days

Yes, the best of the games in the 80s/90s were very exciting to watch. But some were muddy bore-fests. We all remember the good games.

And quite apart from anything else, as even the people saying it must recognise, IT AIN'T GOING TO HAPPEN!! We might as well lament the passing of the horse and carriage.

My concern with the shoulder charge, is that current players are so much bigger, faster, and stronger than in years gone by... In my view it was wise to control it before someone got seriously injured..
