Yes... absolutely, the highlights will by necessity show the losing side not falling to sustained continuous pressure but usually only a maximum of one successful tackle and then the score.

I always wish they would put some kind of 'tackle counter' on the screen to give context, e.g. is this the 5th set in a row that a team has defended?

If you watched Wigan v Sydney, you'd note that Wigan didn't really have the ball for the first 20-25 minutes and I thought they put in an huge effort to hold out against a team parked on their line, but a casual punter might just see that they have conceded a point a minute and think they couldn't defend at all, like us at Widnes on the last tackle

That's my pet hate with RL highlights too, just tries and clean breaks. Often the tries are the least interesting bit of the process, show the hookers and props making 3-4 tackles in quick succession, show the big drives, show the best kick-chases etc.

You should offer your services to do coaching/video work and do the player by player snippets that the computer programme (whose name escapes me at the mo) offers up so players go and look at what they did in a game. You'd be good at that.

You clearly know what you're on about Mark.

Agree. We could do with the help!.....Opta stats right?

SLTV highlights show the tackles leading up to tries so you get to see, for example, how the failure to slow a PTB down or lazy work at marker leads to a try one or two plays later. This is something that the inexperienced Broncos are guilty of but ought to be easily fixable.

But what about all the other highlights? A game is not just about the short lead up to a try.

To be fair they do show the fights.
