Quote: Big Dave T "Fair enough, agree with Cusack, Manu, Burnett and Washy. No way about King and Tickle.
Moa i give you, Thacks and G Horne never.
Dowes and Maloney better than Radders defensively from a technical angle? No way!'"
King and Tickle both regularly get through the initial impact when carrying the ball. They both find the floor well and in a good position a lot more often than Radford. Defensively, Tickle is miles ahead in terms of controlling the tackle. He's probably the best at the club still (up there with Cusack, anyway). King isn't as good, but he often makes much better contact than Radford and slows the play down much more effectively.
Thackray and G Horne, again, both get through tacklers. They often avoid heavy contact through footwork and running style. Again, better than Radford.
Dowes and Maloney both control the ball carrier more effectively. Neither are great, but both are run through and caught on the wrong side less often than Radford.
