MOPSEY LIVES ON wrote:think last night highlighted how poor the game is overhere, nearly all are athletic, have pace and power and they can all handle a ball. our game is stale and boring we need to develop players not robot them. il still watch cause i love trin but the game over here imo is crap.
I've got some sympathy for that view, I thought the SL was a little exposed yesterday.
What I saw was the best SL team almost completely neutered because they don't require 'footballers' to win our competition.
It's enough to have big athletes who play at high speed, off the back of quick play the balls, who gain ascendancy and then kill you with pace on the outside. Momentum is everything in the Super League, with it you can rack up a big score and simply over run your opponents.
Last night Manly did'nt allow Leeds the ascendency and Leeds were exposed for their lack of football ability as any other SL team would have been.
Following on from the World Cup I think this should be another wake up call for our game.
