Quote: TrinityIHC "Are you for real? They are banging the drum because they are questioning whether it is in the spirit of the game (personally I think it does make for a poorer spectacle but if it's within the rules then fine) not through any fear of Wigan rising to the top and creating the sort of stranglehold you used to have on the game - Salary cap has put paid to that sort of thing.'"


you're obviously one of jk's paint watching brigade icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif hope you enjoy your exciting rugby this season d040.gif

There's Only One F in Wakefield:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_2334.png



Quote: gpartin "Are you for real? What matches have you seen with Wigan in this year? You're having a laugh! I can't believe so many people listen to billy bullshiners who come up with absolute tripe about 'poorer spectacle' and adopt it as their own opinion.'"


I'm not just talking about Wigan - remember not everything opposition fans say directly relates somehow back to Wigan.

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 icon_wink.gif)

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 )
