Bentlegs / I completely agree with your comment's on scrums in rugby league . In the past when a team got the " put in or feed " as we used to refer to it ,the side feeding fed the ball in the middle of the tunnel , now because the side feeding it their Hooker had sight of the ball entering and thus struck with his foot to heel it out , Occasionally you what was called "" A strike against the head meaning the opposing hooker if he was a good un struck at just the similar There time but managed to heel the ball out on his side . There were times were the opposing hooker if struck for the ball too soon would be penalised , NOW days it's an UTTER joke seeing these " so-called forwards trying to bend their backs to form a scrum , most of them look as if they have arthritis or glass backs ,they look afraid they might break , it's all nonesense. Then we have the scrum halve he rarely feeds the ball where it should go , and invariably he feeds the last man /loose forward . I am an ardent Rugby League fan BUT i do like watching Rugby Union too and when one see's the scrum's i am truly envious, granted there are two extra players in the scrum due to the fact they have 15 in their code to 13 in league but as you say Bentlegs they are only a means to what i don't know, i hope i have not bored you .
