Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2687277, member: 8215"] Actually it is relevant. Because the counter-argument is that it's possible, likely even, that those "holes" you speak of would be forming less often had Parker been there. Not only does he get high tackle counts, but his effective tackle count is way up there too, meaning he doesn't miss much and doesn't give opponents chances. From memory we've always been quite easy to earn dropouts from. Perhaps it's our sliding defence? We seem to be compressed enough to not concede through the middle, yet fast & fit enough to get across to threats out wide. However, the act of our defence sliding is potentially opening up the gaps which is allowing those short, sharp grubbers at the line to consistently get through? Ie, throw a dummy to spread the ball wide, our defence reacts, gaps appear that aren't big enough for a runner to go through, but are big enough for a kick to go through. [/QUOTE]
