yes i agree but its usually catch and pass and the ability to kick and drop goals
Look at Sexton in the world cup did nothing but catch and pass and kick goals and he is a legend in the game
My grandad has more movement in his legs than Sexton did on the pitch.
Will remain the same whilst the game is dominated by penalty goals and gives you 3 points for a drop goal

There was talk of reducing the points for a kick to try and encourage teams to go for the try more but I heard that a while back and it’s not happened.

Don't they get a bonus point or something for try scoring, therefore encouraging them to score tries as well as goals, don't know the rules but heard it mentioned about bonus point try, that could be why they have not altered the points for kicks, plus it would look more in line with league if they did, and they wouldnt want that

Couple of things in the media.

Peet confirmed we didn’t sign a replacement for Thornley because they want to give Eckersley and Douglas more game time.

Walters also wants to play second row and Wigan have signed him as one.

They also have a proper World Cup and world wide exposure.
It’s also a game that is played world wide and not just the north of England and south east of Australia.

Rugby is the number 1 code. Not rugby league.

Walters and Junior as a paired second row partnership over the next few seasons could be absolutely phenomenal.

And despite that you spend your time hovering around league forums. What a sad individual you are.

Couldn't agree more! Certainly will be the tallest partnership we've had!
