Death of the half back : Fri Sep 07, 2012 2:11 pm
This is my first post so go easy.I was watching the super league show the other day and realised although im a wire fan and i happily used to watch us get hammered on a weekly and guided round the park by the great aussi half back wilson. that i am know falling out of love with the game.
I feel there are no true half backs left in the game. When the did the ball players become replaced by runners? or is this just a result of alot of emphasis being put on tactics to slow the play the ball down meaning with defensive lines being correctly set it is much more difficult to pass through a gap.
Your thoughts please
