SOO 3 ( what a waste of time)

Structure is not boring when done right, but boring as hell when you go wide without straight power and penetration through the middle third.

Off the cuff can be just as boring---this whole lazy notion of "structure is boring" gets way too much airtime for all the wrong reasons, structure is boring with the wrong/poor coaching behind it and the lack of quality on the park to execute with thought behind the lead up plays.

Off the cuff off the back of structured play and penetration is far more reliable, structure is not limited to the crap second man autopilot spreads NSW offers.

Yes we need more off the cuff i agree but lets not get into the habit of thinking "second man spreads" is what structure is all about---what it is, is poor structure.
I didn't think it was necessary to say it was poorly executed structure ... It was disgraceful execution.Every single team in the NRL runs the same stuff every week followed by a kick to the corner or grubber; it's just that some , like the Storm,execute better than others. I find that boring,regardless of the execution.

Fans, for better or worse,as this is supposed to be entertainment after all,look for aesthetics and out of the box skill,not rehearsed overused concepts of how to dismantle a defence implemented by all 16 teams.Unfortunately the interchange, wrestle and other bull**** interpretations of age old rules, have given us this armwrestle masquerading as League. Might be just me but give me Cliffy back please Lord
