JM2010 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 After the victories by Wigan and Warrington this weekend I was wondering if last year's whitewash has helped these teams improve. Did getting beating by the Aussie's and experiencing the standards they play at influence the coaching and playing staff's training, preparation, mind set and standard of play as they strived to reach the same levels to be able to win? Would an expansion of the WCC help to raise the standards at the top of SL as more teams would get the chance to experience this?

Futtocks Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I just think that both teams this year started the regular season a lot better than the three involved last season, two of which were SL whipping boys for much of 2016. I'm not sure that a single match in February could have had such a massive transformative effect. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. Ralph Waldo Emerson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM2010 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 I think it could. If you see a team at a higher standard you look at what they are doing better and incorporate it into what you do to help you improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUBRATS Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 It's interesting , partly to see how the game evolves differently , other than that it's just a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blotto Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Wigan deserved the win but they put a lot effort into it and that usually means a payback with a dip in form usually later in the season, the Sharks could point out that their 3 top scorers were not playing but again that's an irrelevance as they still had enough firepower but they lacked someone with the skills of the retired Ennis to compliment Maloney and suffered for it in the attack phases. I thought Hicks Reffed well with good discipline aided by Chicken legs on the line! Though I thought the Sharks were not quite on their game it doesn't detract from the Pies win. Wires win was less of a surprise I thought the Ponies looked a bit more vulnerable pre season and would miss the retired Parker and stay behind Blair up front!
