Quote: rubber duckie "Opposition pick out smaller men for one on one’s within the 10 yard area.
They either run over him, or move the ball to pull to stretch a defensive zone to isolate the smaller guy to be hit with a short ball.
Hayes for sure always got targeted, as did Tai and Drinkwater.
It’s very difficult to stop a 17 stone forward hitting anyone at speed, never mind smaller guys.'"
Totally with you. If you could pin Wigan back to their own line French, Field & Smith would be walked over. I doubt it will happen. So when I see one of our half-backs picked out for missing a tackle it does make me think a bit.
