Warrington Wolves • Heritage and Outlook
Fair points, and taking Sean Long as an example, he very likely played RL due to his father's involvement in the sport. If he hadn't have made a career in RL, then it would most likely have been in another sport. We need, somehow, to make the sport of more interest to the youngsters who currently have no interest in the game, to widen the search for talent.
Couldn't agree more that first and foremost were looking for athletic, powerful and quick players for all positions. How we have managed to lose the guile, clever and cunning handling of the half backs, hookers and loose forwards in this era baffles me. Lee Briers is involved in the coaching side of the game, and there must be many others of his ilk, so why does it appear that his skill set isn't being passed on? At wembley we were shocking at passing out of dummy half, which is absolute basic handling. With Catalans successfully winning the cup due to being best at robots bashing robots, the future looks like more of the same, sadly.
