I mean for the game - all im saying IMO, i would prefer to watch a game with a faster ptb, than what we have got this season. The fact that Wigan are currently the best side at this new development is irrelevant, i'd say the same if it was Wakey who were the best (although just maybe not as much

Slowing the play of the ball down forces teams and their players to find more skilled ways of breaking down defences instead of just waltzing through gaps.
Players like McGuire, Burrow, Robinson, Roby. Higham etc had it all too easy for too long and their careers stalled as defences got better because they hadn't developed their other skills enough to still be a threat. Guys like Eastmond and Tomkins are becoming more rounded players because they're being tested and they have to work hard and try all options to break down defences.
Kears comments were pathetic tbh. His bottom lip was going when I saw the interview on Sky and i'd have expected better from a coach i've always regarded as pretty honest and decent.
