It might be the style of play that Saints have brought in over the years - scooting from the ptb with big forwards on your shoulders before the defence is in place. They don't play that way in Oz what with all the wrestling after the tackle.

I think the pace that SL is played does have a lot to do with,it, in Aus the halfback is on the ball at first reciever a lot more often then in SL becuase we tend to go for 5 quick plays.
