Message: [QUOTE="Clintos, post: 2202424, member: 2003"] I've got to agree with OXY here. Taking out the legs of a big bloke is the best way to bring them down one on one. Look at Preston Campbell vs anyone else in the NRL. He grabs their legs and falls backwards, which makes the attacking player AT LEAST lose their balance. Going high on a big player is a much greater risk if you are a significantly smaller player. You are just going to bounce off and whilst you may slow him down - the tackle will be otherwise ineffective. You can't say that players shouldn't go low because their heads will collide with the attackers hips - players are trained how to tackle. Players who have their heads in the wrong place are always going to be hurt. It's like saying that going high is more likely to result in a head clash. Taking out the legs is the best way to tackle a big player. I know that it was the best way to tackle me back when I played for Norths. [/QUOTE]
