I think we've actually come out onto the pitch early but wearing Hull KR shirts !!

Also he was annoyed with himself you can see that. At the end of the day he was fended off by a big opposing winger. The same thing Tom has done himself on numerous occasions. He’s not immune it happens to ALL wingers ALL the time. If it didn’t nobody would ever score and there wouldn’t be a game worth watching.

I think the stat is that about 80% of tries are scored due to a defensive lapse as opposed to attacking brilliance. That’s how the game works, it’s designed to force errors, if it wasn’t it would be far too predictable, all sports are like that to varying degrees.

Wingers and centres should move up and back together if possible and wingers move inside to force opposition attack’s out wide so if they do get round and score, makes the kick difficult, hence the 2 missed kicks out wide by Shudds and 2 points for Wakey.

Its not just wingers, and no matter how big the opposing player,mis-timing a tackle happens ,and i would say every player no matter how good they are, who plays Rugby or has played Rugby will have mis-timed a tackle or two in their career.
The thing is to learn from them and try and cut out the mistake, mis-timed tackles are also likely to cause injury, usually to the tackler.

Although I agree with you in general on this occasion I don’t think this was a miss tackle as such. I think the opposing team deserves some credit here, it was an excellent move down their right leaving the advantage with the Hudds winger. I reckon if he hadn’t of fended TJ he’d have been very disappointed with himself.

Those tackles take some doing and the attacker often wins. TJ did everything right but in the end he couldn’t bring the lad to ground, as those tackles are 50/50 at best.

Nah, not for me.
Much as I love TJ. He was close enough to touch him so should kept his feet and made a better tackle.
