They're just playing to the real rules, i.e the ones in place on matchday. You have to applaud them for it to be honest, when GB/England take advantage of what they can get away with they tend to cause upsets.

They play like a current NRL team (obviously without the calibre of players) were the wrestle in the tackle is probably the most important part of the game. Some coaches won't like it, but at the end of the day its the two points that matter to Nathan Brown.
Thaler makes mistakes, but I'd say hes probably the best of a bad bunch.

God, I wish someone had asked Noble what he thought of that style, and how it could work for Wigan at the last Fans Forum.

The theory that we still play 5 drives and a kick is a myth brought out when we lose.
The theory that the NRL is 5 drives and a kick is one i can only say must be born out of ignorance ( and i mean that in the least offensive way possible). Hudds certainly are not a week in week out 5 drives and a kick team and neither are many, if any NRL teams.
Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.

I agree. My comments to do with Hudds are more to do with their attitude in defence as have been the comments from coaches.
They score classy tries - using B Hodgson - very well.
The NRL is lightyears ahead of anything SL can dish up.
