Message: [QUOTE="Nerd, post: 3619494, member: 11778"] We need to hit and put players on the ground in tackles instead of this catch and hold crap that with the amount of offloads the Chooks got away isn't working. We got put on our backs in a tackle at least a few times every set and it really slowed down the play the ball speed. This would allow us to take a leaf out of the Storm, Panthers and Roosters play book and start moving as a line before the ball is played to cut down their space with the ball. More than a few times last night the entire Roosters defensive line had taken 1 to 2 steps and the ball hadn't hit the ground in the play the ball. Klown only penalised them twice from what I can remember but it let them get away with this because they got the tackled player on their back and slowed the tackle down more than not. Haas can be the worst offender at this at times and being the biggest guy on the field really needs to bend his back and hit guys with a shoulder and not be a human catch and hold pillow. I myself would rather watch attacking play without the stifling defence like how the game was played in the 90's but the NRL rule changes and the way they interpret them means we have to do our best to slow down the ruck like the other top teams are now doing.
