Quote: Salty "Smith can't do the same because he has no pace. If a player has pace he can get close to the attacker so he can get his arms around him to effect the tackle. Smith reaches out because he cannot get close, he can't get his shoulder in and as a result can't tackle.'"
And maybe it's then a problem with the 3 steps, and hold defence that Noble employs.
Would smith be better if we employed the "rush" defence?
