I still think there is room for enforcers in the game but the role has changed it’s no longer the cheap shot merchant it’s the player that just demands respect.
Faz was an enforcer, Pongia was an enforcer, Wiki was an enforcer, hard hard men who you knew would go to war if needed when it got tasty.
Kel had his time in the game and whilst by all accounts was a good coach at Oulton I agree with others that there is no place for those type of antics anymore.
Let’s not pretend Wane isn’t a tough man and also was an enforcer in his day, and I really don’t think we lack any mongrel in this team at all.
Will be interesting to see how that dynamic evolves under Lam and Edwards.
But Wane is no longer here and thats exactly why we need Skerrett to bring back the biff!
The game has become too sterile for my liking. Going to central park on a cold Sunday in winter with the prospect of seeing a right good old fashioned scrap was part of the fun. I was there that day against Salford when Skerrett flew into the middle of a brawl and then afterwards we took great delight in goading Ian Blease whilst he was sat in the dug out.
