But that tac tic causes doubt in the defenders mind, is he or isn't he. Very good play. People are being trained more now to run with both hands on the ball carrying it in the middle of their chest 1) to make it more difficult to strip 2) giving you good control and being able to pass before the collission.
By the way did you know Jammers roomie is Sam Burgess, who is complaining about Jammers smelly feet.

it does if he takes the odd ball to the defense! 
imo this tactic works best when performed close to the try line and with a couple of good runners and coming at the defensive line from different lines |

O'Loughlin was stripped of the Wigan captaincy this year. |

You still think Jammer shouldn't have been given the captaincy after his performance on Saturday? |

O'Loughlin was Englands best player on Saturday, but I don't have a problem with Graham as captain. |

Who does O'Loughlin play for again?
According to you on another thread Gleeson is Superleague's best English centre; according to you on this thread O'Loughlin was England's best player on Saturday.
There would be a theme there, obviously.
However, while I can't comment on Gleeson because I haven't seen him play enough, I did watch the match live on Saturday and I would disagree with you on O'Loughlin.
Oh, and I don't care whether you have a problem with James Graham as captain or not. He was magnificent out there on Saturday and led superbly by example, as a captain should. |

And again, what has that to do with him being Englands best player on Saturday? |

He's spot on on both counts. |

I thought that Westwood was our best player, O'Loughlin was quiet in large spells.

For me it was James Graham, but I agree with your opinion on O'Loughlin. Westwood was a bit too lax in defence on a few crucial occasions, which is unusual for him as he is such a hard grafter no matter whether at club or international level. |
