Just finished watching Aus. Grand Final. If we want to win the Four Nations one thing we need to improve on is our speed at the play the ball. They are so much quicker than us. Players are allowed too much time in Super League.
Saints have had to change the way they play because play the balls are sooo slow. Huddersfield have benefitted but every club is allowed to slow the game down. It's a joke when a tackler lies on a player, turns his head towards the referee and waits a few seconds for the instructions to release. What an intelligent post.
The idea is to slow the PTB down properly, Saints are crying because they've got away with it for years and now other teams are catching on, how long ago is it now saints employed wrestling coaches??
I agree with the overall premise, the niggly stuff we see in many SL clubs isnt the right way, hence why Hudds in their SL games were penalised to death. Leeds, Saints and Catalans are the only teams i've seen work it properly.
The main principle is to hold the bloke up a couple of seconds BEFORE dropping him to the ground, not lie on for 3 seconds after.
IMO the PTB has been quicker in the playoffs
