Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3296698, member: 9052"] If I look at the game I can pin point a couple moment early in the second half that killed us: - Riki high shot on 4th tackle to give Tigers field position for the first try - Linebreak on tackle 2 of the very next set after the try. This has a few factors. > First... poor tackle technique to allow Nofo to get a quick ptb on tackle 1 of a kick off set. > Second.. an inability to realise a quick ptb was on offer and to shut it down by breaking up the play through conceding of a six again. > Third ... Riki not realising he should tackle the dummy half after the quick ptb and concede a six again (instead of running backwards and conceding a linebreak) > Fourth... inability to slow the ruck down to a crawl after the linebreak and concede a six again. Wouldnt suggest to do it on the tackle after the linebreak as that risks a professional foul; however on the tackle 1-2 after tigers ran a pretty meek play and Haas was in a dominant position and could've laid all over them to concede six again. Following the tackle where Haas got off at lightning speed I checked over to the left and Herbie (I believe) was still getting back the 10m, so we had a disjointed defensive line and conceded a try off a simple block play. In the above situation good defensive teams would recognize the quick ptb and concede a six again instantly instead of allowing the line break... because there is zero repercussions for giving away blatant penalties nowadays This says to me that either our defensive coach is shit and hasn't adapted to the new modern style of defense OR the players are too stupid to recognise that they should've conceded a six again on 3 different occasions in the one set of six. After the above occurred we went from leading by 8 to down by 2 within 10mins of the 2nd half... and suddenly we were dragged into a shootout. [/QUOTE]
