We have players in this squad that can look after team mates, Batch, Louis, Riley but for some reason they dont react to things, why? It doesnt have to be a fight but a word in the ear, a little scrum to show its not going to be tolerated. It doesnt happen though. This must be a coaching tactic but is it derived from how refs rule on games or how the game has changed?
There have been hugely entertaining games when teams had ‘enforcers’ that didnt have any fights but still had good legal big hits we dont see those games any more. Why?
I cant see any teams changing unless fan numbers start to drop but in the UK teams cant really afford to lose fans as the income isnt great and is mainly from fans.
One last question, anybody have the stats for the number of fights this season in the EIHL compared to previous seasons & other leagues? Thanks
