It has evolved but the skill level has decreased, that comes from grassroots and how the game has been watered down. We were full time for most of the 90's and had a massive fitness superiority to most clubs and also competed and beat full time aussie teams also. The players in the 90's has 2 subs and that was it but the forwards now with rolling subs are fitter with outside backs doing a lot of their work? Give over. Players in the 90's were bigger and maybe not as fit as a guy 2 stone lighter were fit enough to do the job. Its not looking back with nostalgia, its looking back with facts and opinions and reasons.
But you haven’t given any facts, just a nostalgic opinion. Nor have I given any facts but an opinion and an educated one at that.
You think skill level has decreased whilst I in the contrary think it’s increased. I do believe it’s ludicrous to suggest that skill level has decreased since the 90’s. Players now are much fitter, agile and skilful than they were in the 90’s in general.
You keep labouring the point about substitutes; that’s utterly irrelevant. The game has evolved, changed. Boxing used to be 15rounds and before that unlimited rounds, does that mean the game has gone? Absolutely not.
I’m sorry but I completely disagree with everything you’ve said. The game is far more skilful now than it used to be.
