The game goes through phases when teams place greater importance on playing the percentages than taking risks. I'm not sure you can blame individual coaches as I think this is something of a trend. We faced a similar problem during the eighties when the Aussies strangled the life out of the game.
Ultimately it required the intervention of the governing body and a switch to ten meters to fix the problem.
But I can't see something similar happening today - not least because the NRL is so much stronger than SL currently.
