[QUOTE="Dunhookin, post: 826183, member: 74570"] Just wondering whether it's flattering to be compared to Brian Moore...?! Guess it is actually, his commentaries are on the money and he emanates passion in his views - plus he was a pretty good player! Notably Brian was outspoken on scrum dysfunction and bent feeding especially - regularly expressing his dismay. This is exactly what should be happening - keeping the problem topical and in the public eye. He was doing that - but he has been disappointingly silent on it in more recent times. I can't believe that someone with such strength of opinion as he has, now accepts WR's incompetence. I suspect that the luvvie lambkins at the BBC were paralysed with terror that Brian's hitherto refreshingly honest, forthright and truthful criticisms of elite level scrum refereeing, might cause someone, somewhere to be offended....FFS!! Honesty and truth sacrificed just in case it causes the odd bleat and whine...utterly pathetic and frankly contemptible. Cooky's point about bent feeding not being a 'magic bullet' on its own is correct. It is the absolute root cause of scrum dysfunction, but it's not a magic wand. Eradicating bent feeding will make monumental improvements in scrum functionality, produce much faster and much more usable ball and significantly fewer penalties. With such tangible advantages - it again begs the question - why does WR consistently fail to address the running sore and the agony of dysfunctional scrums? Person (s) unknown within WR clearly have some perfidious agenda that sees the current mess as acceptable - or lacks the moral fibre to get a grip of this problem, actually take control, lead the way and sort it. I suspect that nobody in WR ever looks at forums like this - reality can be unpalatable - as can addressing an unjustifiable stance. I'm trying to ascertain who the perfidious gang within WR are responsible for scrum debacle. They're not held to account - that must change. [/QUOTE]
