Message: [QUOTE="Nerd, post: 3601538, member: 11778"] One thing that really stood out for me was how we defend. When a team like Penrith who are not notable off loaders are off loading at will there's a problem. Penrith were hitting with their shoulders then putting the attacker on their backs regularly in tackles. We did this maybe once a set with most other tackles we grab the runner and hold him up trying to get a slow play the ball allowing them to walk another 3-5 metres. It's not working and we need to start hitting with a shoulder. A dominant tackle is why Penrith get away for holding down so long in a tackle and why we were getting pinged for non existent 6 agains by Sutton. On Sutton he should have put May in the bin after that high shot on Walsh. If Staggs did that to Cleary you just know he would have been penalised, got 10 in the bin and suspended. May's tackle was after he passed the ball and he made high contact with such force that Walsh missed the rest of the game and could miss further games as well. There's accidental head clashes then there is trying to take out an opposing player with a collision after the ball was passed. May should see 2-4 weeks on the sideline but knowing the NRL he will cop a small fine or a warning. [/QUOTE]
