I agree with the OP, though. like that game up top on Wigan TV today, 1991 v Wire. There's a hell of a lot of ball movement (OK, a lot of it backwards, from Wire), and also a lot of high-impact collision. And actually, and this is something that helped to draw me in to love the game at that time, despite the odd punch-up, the relative lack of foul play, and the scarcity of whistle-blowing. but of course, refs let a lot go in those days which they would never do in the modern era.

The game could be frantic back then. I just dont buy this idea that the modern game is faster, its not. The question still remains, why are most of todays props so unfit? Most of them are gasping for air after 15/20 minutes. It would be fascinating to see some of the best 90s players play the modern game. I expect they would kill it such have the standards dropped at the top of the league but we have just got used to it as normal.

As usual , the part of the post which is most important where you had to sell your ground is ignored

Hardly surprising is it, when other clubs and councils like St Helens and Warrington had more sense!

You mean like all the parts of your comments that have nothing to do with the OP.
But to keep you happy. Yes we sold the ground and now rent a stadium.... so what?

The most important part to you, the reason was the cost of the new stand that cost millions more than quoted, but don’t let facts get in the way

And won't be struggling through this current economic crisis half as much as Leeds will be due to not owning said ground.

And Leeds would've gone bust a long time ago without Caddick.

And yet, in the NRL, the likes of JWH play big minutes, old man Gallen played 80 mins usually, and so on and so on.

So yeah, no excuse.

Wow ,
Uncle Mo was cleverer than i thought , he realized that if the club overspent and had to sell the ground then once it was renting if a Corona virus ever occurred the overheads would not be as great .

He was always forward thinking

Imagine how bitter big fat Garry Schofield (copyright Andy Farrell) would be if we took his Yaaarkshire Cup medals as well

it was even cleverer as he wasnt at wigan then
