Bullseye:Trojan Horse:PopTart:
Players must be annoyed fighting to get up to play the ball quickly with players straddling round them and wrestling while the refs shouting get up and play the ball. What?s our players supposed to do? Phase through defenders on top of them.
It's like that in every game and every team does it. Players are coached to try and "control the ruck" which leads to players doing everything they can to slow down the opposition. Some teams like Wigan are masters at it and are really good at disrupting in all kinds of ways. The more effective you are the better chance you have of giving your defence time to get set.
As a neutral when it comes to SL i'd like to see refs come down on it a lot more. The cynical play of just lying in or around the ruck in particular does my head in. Players need to be rolling away more.
It certainly does need to be addressed. Too much messing about and it?s crept back into the game.
Not sure why it?s quoted my words as poptarts but they?re my words and I?d appreciate you not making them out to be poptarts.
Also, this site still has multiple issues. Quotes messing up and symbols in text. Hope they?re fixing all these errors up.
