Quote ="jonh"So you watch the NRL and find it dull?'"
Yes, it isnt a difficult point to understand even though you have needed it explained three times now. I watch the NRL and find a lot of it boring, a lot of it is uninteresting wrestling and the PTB is a mess in Aus. There are moments of sheer genius which makes it worthwhile but the wrestling tactics etc are a negative influence on the Australian game it makes a lot of games turgid and repetitive.
Quote Tomkins milked a shed load of penalties early door this year I am not disputing that, what i am saying is because of this refs got wise and now he gets hammered the other ways. Its a double edged sword and at the moment he is paying for the refs scrutiny that he once benefited from, that the nature of the game.
All teams try to put bodies in the tackle your last paragraph sums up a good team. Its against the rules if you get penalised for it. Coaches criticise it because they want more pressure from refs. it's funny how nobody criticises Hudds anymore as they now are not as good at it as Wigan.'"
No, it isn’t a good team, it’s a cynical team. I have watched good teams, and I have watched good players. None of them will ever be remembered for messing about at the ruck and slowing the PTB.
Quote its funny how away from the ears of fans coaches and players rave about the tactics of Wigan.
its an argument i will never win, i understand that so will leave it there but, to be called blinkered by people trying to justify an offside try against the rules of the game then slam Wigan for cheating the cap yet follow teams being investigated by HMRC for offshore payments I find very very ironic..........and blinkered.'"
Once again I have to point out to you that there is specific provision within the salary cap rules for a situation like this. The RFL has given their approval within the salary cap structure for clubs to use these types of schemes. Im not sure how much clearer I can make this difference for you.
