look's like they're all following the example of dummy spitting and crying set by James Graham.

Surely it was Millward who brought in the quick PTB, jump from Dummy Half ad nauseum?

Why in the petition does it call for quicker play the balls and less holding down at the PTB if it is quick play the balls that are killing the game?

It was and we finished up with failed half backs playing hooker, quick scoots, easy meters and then getting tackled, but couldn't pass water.

We had promising young halfbacks coming through, (Tommy Lee, Thomas and James Coyle, Scott Moore etc) but we bulked them up as "scooters"

It also killed clever, ball playing half backs.

It looks as though Moore having being coached by an ex. hooker in Nathan Brown has been taught how to pass quickly and accurately from dummy half.


Hopefully the slower ptb will encourage good hooker and half back play again.

In answer to the first one, it may possibly have been in the last few months of Millward's era. Certainly the moment when we started backing up Cunningham and Roby was the point when we started to utlise this tactic as our main play rather than an occasional one and Roby played during the last days of Millward's tenure. As to the exact point it came in, it's hard to say.

In answer to the second, because the instigator of the petition completely missed the point as to why the game had gone boring - but he meant well.

anyone remember our performance in the first game of the season?

Middle of the field charge, middle of the field charge, people were bemoaning lowes' tactics for us back then, stuck in cullen's route 2.

IMO this has been one of the best super league seasons as anyone can beat anyone so dont see how you think its predictable? for example results like salford beating leeds at leeds, hull kr winning at saints, us & huddersfield making the final
