Wires71 "7 and 41 metres. But look at the tackles.
I always find these interesting and would like to ask the coaching staff, mainly about the hit ups. Dudson got pilloried on these earlier this year.
Sita used to as well but you do need to accept sometimes people roles in the team, eg sita wasn't a high volume player he was to come on and create impact with big drives, you're not getting 20 carries out of him but hopefully in his short period on the field he takes enough gas out the tank of the opposition forwards it helps the others?
Are their players that are tackling forwards rather than attacking forwards? Yes there are.
Jason Clark for example, regularly made sod all metres for us, as an undersized forward of that time. However to my knowledge, in Australia he spent most of his career doing tackling and grunt work so the burgess brothers et al could hit it up strongly.
Are Nicholsona stats due to him not getting involved? Or is it tactics from the coaching staff?
In our biggest game of the year where you'd want all hands on deck, it certainly stands out
