I never said NRL wasn't levels above SL did I. What I'm about to write is what you have already alluded to in your full post but for clarification here is what I meant by my post:

NRL take very little unwarrented risk and play the rugby you are referring to only once they have earned the right to play like that. A high completion rate and good field position is completed first before any risk (If any at all) is taken.

SL however sees players trying to throw Benji Marshall flick passes out of their @r$e on tackle 1 in their own 10m. Risks like that, and the errors that come off of the back of them, enable players like Field to look world class. As we've seen from any half decent Half back with a running game that's come over from NRL.

Our standard is a million miles lower and therefore our games are more open to mistakes which in turn yields players like Field running round practically untouched.

There have been a fair few players who have burst onto the scene before going off the boil a little bit. Austin being a good example.

Will be interesting to see if that happens with Field. At the moment, he's great to watch.

The only thing that is on par between Super League and the NRL is the incompetence of each leagues match officials.

Ok. He can’t create for anyone else or pass, yet you want to play him In the halves? That makes a-lot of sense!

Pace. It scares people, makes them do things they wouldn't normally do. He doesn't have to be Tommy Martyn or Lee Briers to create chances. If he's running around the middles and back rowers, they're going to compress and create space. People are also going to panic and shoot out of the line. He's also going to be there to backup any breaks or offloads. Their forwards like Mago are absolute puddings in terms of making metres, but they can get their arms free for an offload.

Wigan would be mad to not at least try one of Field or French in the halves. If they put Shorrocks/O'Neill to 9 and Smith into the halves to cover for Leuleuai and Powell they're massively missing a trick. They're debating this themselves on the Wigan forum right now.

I've seen his every game mate. How many have you seen? He creates plenty and has made several try saving tackles. You're talking nonsense.
