To play that style you need a big pool of tough, uncompromising forwards which means you maintain that overwhelming grind over 80 mins and regardless of substitutions.
Ever since I can remember the Kangaroos have had that luxury. in 2019 Warrigton don't - we have Hill & Cooper and when they depart the intensity drops. You can't play a tough, high intensity, unyielding game without the players 1-17 to deliver it.
But you need to play that way to win the Grand Final. You’ve proved you can play that way in the Cup Final.
Personally I think it’s about being able to do both.
Leeds in their prime had the ability to play expansive rugby with offloads etc during the season then adapt to the grind come playoff time.
You could visibly see the change in style come September. Sinfield and McGuire would suddenly sharpen up and there’d be no or few low percentage plays going on. No shortcuts taken by trying to go wide too early. The grind was demanded and provided.
I think you’ve got most of the ingredients, I think you’re missing another top winger to go with Charnley, another solid NRL no-frills prop and some leaders.
In the game v Cas there appeared to be little leadership or inspiration.
