If has to be because if you look at the stats Salford have made more tackles than any club in Superleague over the last two years. 2010 was however a slight improvement on 2009 when the team made 8827 tackles.
Here are the tackle numbers for 2010:-
Salford - 8749
Huddersfield - 8629
Catalans - 8595
Quins - 8534
Hull KR - 8457
Crusaders - 8397
Hull - 8275
Wakey - 8165
Bradford - 8048
Leeds - 7934
Wigan - 7933
Castleford - 7868
Warrington - 7828
St Helens - 7767
This equates to having to tackle for 6 more sets per game than Saints!
Another area that needs improving is metres per carry. In 2009 the team averaged 6.3 and in 2010 they only managed 5.5!
