Quote: Mars Rhino "It's an interesting idea, but I think quite a lot of successful hookers are also tackling machines too. Diskin and Buderus certainly are. I'm not sure it'd be that easy for an outside back to accept that as part of their game. It's a tough business putting in twenty odd tackles a game. I'm pretty sure he's been doing well to put in 1/4 of that.'"
Good point. Watching hookers such as Lee Jackson, Terry Newton, Robbie Mears, Matt Diskin and Danny Buderus you forget how much work they do during a game making tackles. It's more a presumption than a given.
