missed tackles

For a coach who prides himself on his defense background... 

Please explain why our team still misses so many goddamn tackles. Tackles at crucial periods too, basic 1 on 1 misses, this school boy grabbing crap.

Just a note.. Wicks 6 missed tackles last night.. in any terms, that is pathetic. Weather or no weather.

Our starting back-row missed 9 between them? i think thats bein generous too.

24 by our forwards... Here lies the problem... lazy and cant be bothered to put their bodys on the line, let someone else make the tackle attitude is showing.

Its crazy, because in some parts of the game, we defend well as a team, then suddenly we fall apart and let in easy tries.

Where are the big hits?

The ball jolting tackles?

I want to see some fierce gang tackling, harass teams into mistakes, like they do to us.

Where are dragging or pushing players back into the in goal area.

We are a goddamn bunch of paperthin tutu wearin fairy boys!!!!

    • thats kinda my point, our execution and effort to put in is not there, basics are falling apart.

      Wicks missing 6 tackles says enough.

      I know potentially we can be a tough team, at moment we are soft

  • Overall our defence was pretty good last night. Our inability to score points is a bigger issue.
  • We made 70 more tackles, so of course we are going to miss more as a result. More you attempt > more you will miss.
    • take your blue and gold goggles off, thats a weak answer sorry

    • If we'd won the game you wouldnt even bother blogging this. 1 missed tackle cost us the win at the end. Holding the ball is the bigger issue, if we hold the ball in the final 10 we dont have to defend as much and we win. 3 drops in 8mins.
