Quote: The Hollywood Frasier "I think your main issue with defensive is that you seem to lack any 'wrestling' in the tackle and find it really hard to control the PTB speed the opposition get against you. I don't know if this is down to a lack of physicality in the middle or its something that is getting neglected.'"
Said this all last season. Nothing to do with size.
Wigan don't have a big back row...Bateman, Farrel etc.
It's down to technique and coaching. How we move up together is affected by the ptb. We often let the attacker to their feet whilst our markers are laid on the floor.....quick scoot....men dragged into the middle....fringes a shambles.
We never address it. We could buy six giants it won't help.
Watch today folks as soon as our markers are on the floor we get dominated in that set. Sometimes we don't even get the attacker on the floor..
