Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2612808, member: 1847"] This is the absolute key how not to lose a match against any side - you hit the ball runner almost as soon as he gets the ball, and, also, ensure that each support runner is covered for the offload/pass. It's bloody NRL defence 101. The Dogs build so much of their game around 2nd phase plays with their big forwards offloading, especially James Graham passing at the line. It's really so so simple ... as simple as teaching effective tackling techniques which, when done properly, means the smallest player can drop the biggest, provided the line speed is there and the ball receiver isn't given an age to build up a head of steam. Graham is for mine the best prop in the game and, along with Kasiano, if they are given any room to run and offload, we are in strife. I hope Barba tears it up at 6 and he and Hunt actually get Gillett and Glenn some quality ball on the edges. This game is so so winnable. [/QUOTE]
