Once again, not sure where you're coming from. In 2008 (two years before he retired) Cayless captained New Zealand in the World Cup. They won. And in 2009 he was back to his off-loading best when he played an integral part in our march to the Grand Final. But, hey, you know your Rugby League so who am I to point this out?
Once again?
It is the same post you responded to yesterday! Remember? You said this last time:
Yes, I know. And I think you're wrong.
You seem incapable of addressing anything other than Cayless' form so I'll ask two questions:
1. Do you think it is possible that minor rule changes and refereeing differences year to year have an influence on the ruck? I seem to remember the dour, defence oriented games of 2002-2004 being different to 2005 and 2009, where teams like the Tigers and Eels shined.
2. If we accept 1 as true, then do you think smaller skilful forwards benefit more from open spaces and faster rucks or slow games with lots of wrestle and less room to move? Based on my observations I would suggest they prefer the opportunities presented by the former rather than the latter.
But of course, it is Pou so it must be wrong, and besides Cayless captained the 2008 World Cup FFS :crazy:
