LIVING THE AUSSIE DREAM:simpsons/PDT3.gif



Quote: Carlotti "How he gets in the Knights squad is a mystery to me,is dummy half play is abysmal,never pulls the A & B markers in to release a forward coming into the gap, usually just runs across the defensive line and drops an inside pass,speed of passing is poor,he used be good as a scooter,when the opposition forwards were tired, he'd scoot from dummy half and gain some good metres,but even this has seemed to disappear from his game and his defence is garbage, invariably a forward will target him run over the top of him,gaining two or three metre's and get a quick play the ball,putting us on the back foot again,in the stats it might say he made the tackle,but in my eye's getting dominated and run over,a tackle it doesn't make,the kids not physically strong enough to be our main hooker,he might be ok coming of the bench for 15 min spells,but that's it.'"

Quote: Kosh "I'll answer that if you can tell me what constitutes a missed tackle in the stats.'"

I suspect where the player grabs but does not force the ball carrying arm on the floor or the ref to calls tackled if he is satisfied that the player is stopped.

Quote: Bet Lynch "The aim of any tackle be it dominant or not is to stop the offensive player, thus forcing a play the ball. Hougton is presently the most effective player in the league at this there is nothing simplistic about that, the tackle is either made or it is not and the offensive player carries on until effectively the tackle is made. We will agree to disagree about Roby as no way does Roby consistently turn a man on his back on his own, very few players in SL do that alone, Roby like most hookers/h/backs rely on the 2nd man coming in.'"

No he isn't!

So we've gone from the best defender in SL to one of the best to the most effective at making a tackle with the help of others whether or not it leads to a quick PTB or not. Brilliant!

Not sure where this concept that the opposing player needs to be put onto his back in order to dominate a tackle comes from either. A lot of it comes down to the collision, an area Roby does well in. Houghton, however, doesn't fare well at all and usually loses the collision. Players constantly go over the top of him and find the ground quickly, winning a quick PTB due to dominating him in the tackle.
