So a really angry, aggressive, physically-intimidating no.6 with little speed, skill, vision or creativity is more valuable than Jonathan Thurston?'"
Didnt it take a massive haymaker from JT to take down Ryan Hall in the 4 nations a couple of years back???

Yes I've played rugby league for over 20 years now. I have never ever said that you do not need aggression. However you need a lot more besides and to suggest that Rugby league is 99% aggression would lead people to assume you know very very little about the sport.

Nice one. I'm just going to leave you to carry on making yourself look silly now. Night night.

Yeah lets drop Tomkins and Burgess and replace them with Cockayne and Bailey while we're at it. I often think to myself 'If onlu I was more aggresive I could play for Wigan'

| Quote: Conroy "I wonder if fans of NRL sides whinge like we do over the Aussie side. I wonder if Manly and Melbourne fans argue over Cherry-Evans and Cronk? Would Thurston and the other QLD players get booed in Sydney?'"
Robbie Farrah V Cherry Evans debates get the Aussies going although that's more one sided slagging o Farrah.
There was a big whinge over SBW'S turn around to play for NZ , he polarizes Kiwi fans opinions , though of late the haters have grown pretty quiet.
It's easier to see the glass as half full when your team has been winning

See you can come up with a cogent argument when you’re not just trying to slag Wigan off, because I agree with your point. IMO aggression alone is only part of being a good player (which is what I suppose you’re on about) so whether you play with 98, 99 or 100% aggression alone will not be enough. To be a top play you must have a natural ability and skill to play the game, and another point is that if you have aggression with talent but little self-control that just makes you a Hock!

aboveusonlypie...
If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

Union, like football, X factor and all the Saturday night garbage the media moguls feed us, is for the brain dead morons who can't be given anything sharper than a spoon to eat soup, lest they hurt themselves... RL is too fast, and involves more thought than there tiny, addled minds can cope with!!!!
Did i go too far?
