Yes but half backs should not be clattering 2nd row forwards if they don't want to pick up career slowing/ending injuries which reduce the speed off the mark that they need.
Just a question then who should they be tackling then? can't imagine players standing to one side because oposition is bigger than them.

For the benefit of the last two posters what I was suggesting was Williams should not be putting in the amount of tackling that he was doing on Saturday, yes there are occasions when he has to tackle but not when there are other forwards around to do it for him

I didn't notice him that much but he did put in one massive hit in the second half where he used his speed off the mark to come in from the right to absolutely clatter the Brisbane player. A great tackle that got a big reaction from the crowd.
I thought his work rate was good whilst he was on Dave and his tackles were mainly very affective, putting in a good number of them too from what I saw.
I didn't see as much of that in the first two games, hence my comment, big improvement.
