Warrington Wolves • Old Match Rerun - Wow!

I fell for this during lockdown and watched a few games from 2009/10/11/12 and while the justification is usually that the game has evolved, playing percentages, blah blah blah I’m not fully buying that.

The skill level was so much higher then. Even something as simple as passing from dummy half. Jon Clarke in particular could fire a pass off the floor and go 20 yards and get straight into Briers’ hands in a split second. There’s just too much messing with props pretending to trundle it up, only to pass it behind them badly to a halfback, who does the same block play, to another block play, to another block play. Snooze!
