Stronger! Faster!" (c) 1999 or 2000 Warriors NRL Campaign I Forget Exactly Which, these days, stopping a player's momentum often requires more than one tackler - well, that and the fact that the Storm began the multiple-tackle craze and the NRL never thought to put a stop to it/allow it only in certain situations. The only reason for one-on-one tackles now - and of course there's players peeling off to allow this to occur so technically it's a one-on-one tackle because there's only one player when the ref yells "TACKLE" but it's not - is the stripping rule. Maybe something as drastic as a "No off-load in a one-on-one tackle situation" rule or "the attacking player gets to take an extra step in a multiple-tackler situation" rules is required? Off course, the [I]ultimate [/I]rule change would be to ban multiple-player tackles or rule that those don't count as part of the attacking team's Set of Six...
