COULD someone ask Saints chairman Eamonn McManus, who I greatly respect, to ask his Super League colleagues to bring about a total ban on, what I consider to be, the cheating which is choking our great sport of rugby league – namely slowing down of the ruck.


I have recently watched old DVDs of our sport and the rucks are clean, fast and tidy. It was a pleasure to see the past players conducting themselves in the correct spirit.
