It's bad huh? I haven't watched anything played there. Maybe the blecks won't notice that Cooper's not playing.

Players couldn't keep their feet when changing direction, some even slipped when they planted their foot to kick.

Some talking heads suggested that the worst patches were on the flanks so it wouldn't effect the rugger but I saw enough incidents down the guts for it to be a worry

hmmm. That ain't good for the paying punters. Keep thinking it might (somehow) better our chances in this match.

It's like t20, the slippery surface increases the 'luck' factor, which means skill becomes less relevant. Which is good, because the ABs have shedloads more skill than the Wobblies.

That's where my thoughts were going.
