Quote ="sally cinnamon"This argument doesn't make sense.
Teams always won at home is not the same as saying players scored fewer tries.
If you look at the try tallies back then of guys like Offiah, Schofield, Newlove, Paul Eastwood, Steadman, Hunte, Sullivan, Cordle there were a lot of prolific scorers in those days.
Dessie himself scored 141 tries in 280 games for Leigh before joining us so was a much more regular scorer there than at Warrington.
It just seems odd that he was never really a big scorer of tries with us whereas you can't say he had lost pace at the end of his career because he was still quick and could still beat players by going the long way round them in an arcing run and doing them for pace.'"
I think in the Good Old Days the difference between forwards & backs was like race horses to donkeys ,the really good backs could run rings round even the fastest forwards but now we have many more mobile forwards who are just as likely to score as the backs given the right opportunities.
