Interesting point this. I was on about this the other night as we try a similar ploy with Moors.

To me it seems like a play where, for cas at least, they're not sure what else to do.

Cause whilst it seems like it's a feasible option, I always say look at how many tries he scores at the end of the year. It won't be more than 2 or 3.

Most teams try it probably a dozen times a game but when you look at the try stats for props at the end of the year, if there was a way to compare it to the amount of times teams try it, I bet it's successful a really really low percentage of the time

The point of that move is to group the defenders at that point to stop him.
When the ball is then moved away there are not enoughdefenders to stop them.
We've scored tries off PP doing that this season.
It needs a quick PTB a la Big Dave to do it.

Kyle probably wasn't as effective because he didn't take as much stopping.

Nope! He was straight on his back pretty much every time.

Where is he these days!?

It's interesting how teams do it differently. We aren't as big in terms of kilograms as Wakefield are, so our forwards tend to barge their way towards a post a bit further out. It's usually Millington doing that job for us.

Wakefield put that play on much nearer the line. As do Leeds.

Subtle differences in how teams play is very interesting

Looking at what happened on the tackle after is likely to tell you more.
