That lad showed more heart and guts than most RL players do. What it seems prove is that the British player and coaching development system are they shambles they come across as.
No disrespect to the hard working volunteers who go way beyond the call, because of their passion for the sport.
It seems to me that even the basic skills are lacking in so many players. This should not have to be taught to "professional" players yet watching so many games it is very apparent. Those who have mastered these skills are seen as something extraordinary which shouldn't be the case . It should be the norm.
The solution? Better coaching skills and training. Obstacles, too much money WASTED on 2nd rate, past it, never will be pension seeking , holidaying crocks. Some other sport seems to have the right idea. RL is still it's insular parochial my club, my club, my club only mentality. The end result is there for everyone to see.
