Message: [QUOTE="WASSHHH, post: 3108657, member: 9424"] Well obviously I disagree. If he is third man in, it’s his job to be third man in - what more should he be doing in that situation? I suppose you could ask if he should wrestle more. Probably, but the Broncos have never really adopted the wrestle (and I for one like that, the wrestle is an absolute blight on our game!). If he’s first man in, as I said, he’s often 30kg lighter than the bloke he’s tackling, so how can he be expected to bring those blokes down on his own? Even more so though; that’s not even how the game is played anymore. There are very few Axe’s, Peter Ryan’s or Tunza’s these days who do it all on their own. Like it or not (see above), it’s all about numbers in tackles. First bloke bearhugs the attacker so the second and third (and sometimes fourth) blokes can come in and... you guessed it, wrestle (boring). I wholeheartedly agree there are plenty of fair criticisms to make about McCullough, but I just don’t think his defence is one. But if you do, tell me who he should be measured against defensively, which 9 does it best? [/QUOTE]
