Last post by ElwoodBlues1 -Agree. Seriously though, can we hire an NRL tackling coach? I'm sick of blokes walking through our tackles.Tackles are effort related, you have to want to tackle, Im sure the coaches teach correct technique but you need the will to lay them. Matt Kennedy laid 7 tackles and put in effort.....Rowbottom had 16, Grundy and Heeney 8....they were just all over us everytime we got the ball in the middle.

Last post by pertz -Doesnt help when some of your blokes cant get the ball, wont lay a tackle and bail out of contests either.....those are non negotiables. Can accept losing on lack of talent caused by injuries but losing by lack of effort isnt on.
We appear to play in bursts in games. In many respects we are not an honest team because the effort turns off and on.
Top teams don't play like that and as EB says, you don't need talent to lay tackles, harass chase etc.

Last post by LP -I wouldn't be surprised to hear that he's hurt that back again.Was thinking much the same, but he hunts the pill and gets zero protection, the game the way it is being umpired is starting to reward the snipers.
There was definitely something wrong, and it wasn't just after that heavy bump near the end
I don't mind the tackling, but not when they just flop into the backs of Cripps and Walsh without penalty.
